Having now activated over almost 200 different islands (158 in the Scottish island
award programmes, André has always considered antenna alternatives that might serve a
useful purpose - either in restricted 'home QTH' environments, or for use when '/P'.
As a result of this, he designed the 'Mini-Delta', and was subsequently encouraged to
submit his design as an article for inclusion in the RSGB publication, 'RadCom'.
Rather than reproducing and 'translating' the article to a format suitable for HTML
web-browsers, the 'proof' of the article (received direct from the Technical Editor) is provided here, as an Acrobat
PDF document. (The article is reproduced with the full permission of
RadCom).
André is the first to admit that this is a 'prototype' antenna, and is encouraging
feedback and discussion. Specifically, he would like to hear from anybody who has
constructed or used one, or who might care to provide him with results from any antenna
analysis software (such as EzNEC or SpectraVision).
