The prototype of this antenna was the antenna proposed by UW4HW ("Radio", No. 12/1968), and a variant of this antenna UA6HKH ("Radio" No. 9/1981). My version of this antenna operates from 3,5 to 28 MHz.
While in Essentuki (UY5AP / UA6H), I met Georgy - UA6HVX, who had an antenna similar to UW4HW, 20 m high. The antenna worked perfectly at 3,5 MHz and not bad at 1,8 MHz! Then I converted my 7 MHz GP into such an antenna, but with a height of 10,2 m fig.1. The antenna has been in operation since 1986. Hundreds of DX QSOs have been made on various bands. At 3,5 MHz JA give 569 at 120W output power. On all other bands almost every DX I hear responds. With an output power of 0,5 watts, there is a QSO with NM7G on 14 MHz, which rated my signals at 449. SWR on the bands: 3,5 MHz - 1,2,7 MHz - 1,2; 10 MHz - 1,2; 14 MHz - 1,1; 21 MHz - 1,3; 28 MHz - 1,2.
The antenna is stretched with two tiers of guys. Horizontal spacers are made of metal tubes with an inner diameter of 10 mm, which are mounted on bolts with a diameter of 10 mm, welded with their heads to the brackets (position B). At the other ends of the tubes, roller insulators are fixed, to which wires are attached. An insert equal to the inner diameter of the mast with a central hole for M4 is fixed in the upper part of the mast. A washer made of double-sided fiberglass with a thickness of 1,5 - 2 mm is screwed here (position A).
Both foil sides of the washer must be soldered. The ends of the wires are inserted into the seven holes of the washer and soldered to it. The washer is screwed with an M4 screw. Thus, at the top of the mast, both mechanical and electrical contact of the antenna wires is obtained.
The seventh wire is needed to eliminate bad contacts in the mast joint and runs along the mast, connects to the counterweights and cable sheath. In the lower part of the antenna, 6 wires are threaded through the holes of the L-shaped insulators (position B) and are interconnected in the form of a ring.
These insulators are attached to the mast with electrical tape. The core of the cable is soldered to this ring. Cable sheath - to counterweights, which are connected in pairs to four bolts on the metal antenna thrust pad, located on a flat roof.
Thus, all connections of the working part of the antenna are soldered and not subject to climatic influences, which is very important! If you also connect four counterweights with a length of 20,4 m, then the antenna will work better at 3,5 MHz.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens
02.05.2024
In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers.

Advanced Infrared Microscope
02.05.2024
Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>
Air trap for insects
01.05.2024
Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
| Random news from the Archive VESA VDC-M compression standard
17.05.2018
VESA has introduced Display Compression-M (VDC-M) - a new compression standard for interfaces for connecting built-in displays of mobile devices, including smartphones.
Developed in collaboration with MIPI, it provides higher compression (up to 5:1) than the VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard, which provides compression up to 3:1. At the same time, "no visible loss of quality" is maintained. The payoff for increasing the compression ratio is the complication of the scheme. VDC-M is the third in a family that also includes DSC 1.1 introduced in 2014 and DSC 1.2 published in 2017.
The need for a new codec is caused by an increase in the resolution of displays. The association hopes that VDC-M will find the same wide application as its predecessors. MIPI is already planning to include VDC-M in a future specification for mobile displays.
