TBH I sort of supported him on doing this test as it was not a scientific type of thing as some kept on at him about it, it was a basic bit of fun to find out what antenna was best in a simple way, but if he is gonna throw his toys out of his pram if we dont agree with his results, stuff it because it seems if its not Geoffs way its not the proper way on everything

@radio daze
Indeed...if the antenna needed a rfchoke..they should have supplied one !

You have definitely confirmed you know absolutely nothing despite claiming to with that one single sentence.
Not being funny conor but I normally stay neutral and ignore some stuff that people read to avoid arguments etc although I do love a good debate, I may be picking up your posts wrong here and if I am then I apologise but you seem hell bent on showing everyone that you are infact an expert in this matter and trying to belittle the rest for maybe not having the same antenna testing knowledge or apparatus as you. I dont have a clue how to scientifically test antennas but if a friend say 6 miles plus away can hear me better on one antenna compared to another then I know that one is doing better for me.

No its not a scientific day its a fun day to see if the performance changes between antennas by receiving /listening and maybe the radio meter reading. Im sure most of us here will agree that if two different antennas have a similar V-SWR, they are at the same height, at the same location using the same radio and power then if we can see a difference between them then its a success, we have found the better antenna to use at that location.

At the end of the day Im hoping we can get a comparison between these antennas by having a long distance ground wave contact to see if one antenna performs better than the other. Is one struggling to make the distance compared to the others, can contacts be heard just about the same without struggling, more importantly for me can a cheap coax antenna make the journey just as well as a commercially bought antenna which I have always said these expensive bought antennas do no better and the hype surrounding them is why people go out and buy them.

Dont get me wrong yes I am interested in a scientific test as well but this test is not about that, maybe you woud be willing to do such a test some day and again I would be just as interested in what you find.

Come on mate show a bit more positive interest, these guys need applauding for what they are doing

I thank you guys for doing this and really interested and looking forward to your findings. :clap:
Excellent post that. Sums up the exercise perfectly,

It's a shame, but seeing as Geoff is not doing this 'test' now, there is no reason to keep this thread open.
Thank you everyone for the offers to him for helping carry out this experiment, maybe somebody else will do something similar another time :thumb:
