28 MHz Wadetenna beam on the beach

[@TheArtofEngineering]

I love this idea of being a human antenna rotator clever!

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

I just like the markings on the beach. Like a very very lame Stonehenge I wonder what people think it is after it’s all been pulled down. _its that strange cult again….isn’t it ??_ _I don’t know what they do with their wires and beeps and strange Donald Duck voices, but I don’t like the looks of it. It ain’t natural_

well done mate, fun fact i made contact with you on 15m few days back a Thursday

[@m0dad]

Excellent video and great experiment as always Peter. Would be interesting to try a reflector and director to see if there is much difference. I must try this from the pier sometime when out with my pedestrian mobile trolley...David M0DAD.

[@mastersteel1079]

Arrived 1 😊😊😊😊

[@bensmith4563]

I figured it would work but not really be worth the effort other than an experiment

[@Sergiu.antifascist]

an useful video, about an useless component?! then how should this be named? useful, or useless? am confused

[@markbruechert9967]

Nothing Peter has made could ever be described as "useless", Sergio. Not withstanding any practical applications of this concept, it's a terrific real-life demonstration of how a parasitic element works.

[@Sergiu.antifascist]

@@markbruechert9967 the comments Peter made, do not reflect what was demonstrated. to say some 2 dB are useless, while pleading for everything to take care of all those few dB? and also directivity, protection against lateral signals. what of that is useless? Peter exagerated

@@markbruechert9967 am no Sergio, am not italian

[@Sergiu.antifascist]

@@markbruechert9967 if i am Sergio, then Peter is Petro Poroshenko

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

I have a teenage parasitic element. Doesn’t have much effect on the direction. Maybe needs to spent more time reflecting
