[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    Conditions were better than they have been in a long while. Both 
bands had fast, fluttering QSB but there was less noise. Forty meter 
signals had me turning down the gain.  The steady hiss was absent, 
making copy easier.  Splitting wood made sending harder;  I need to 
swing left handed.

W0CZ - Ken - ND


     Until next week 73,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS

double f = 100;         // frequency in MHz
double h = 1;            // height of antenna in lambda
double I0 = 2;           // maximum current in amperes
double r = 100;         // distance from antenna to observer in meters
double size = 50;      // used for scaling

lambda = 300 / f;      // wavelength in meters
l = lambda / 2;          // length of antenna
k = PI*2 / lambda;     // to save some space
phi = 0;                     // for first iteration

To model the horizontal dipole radiation pattern at height h:

Create an arc by stepping theta from 0 to PI
using radius = size * ( ETA * k * I0 * l * sin(k*r)
                         * sqrt( 1-sin(theta-PI/2) * sin(theta-PI/2) * 
sin(phi) * sin(phi) )
                         * sin(k * h * cos(theta-PI/2))) / (PI*2*r);

then sweep the arc by stepping phi from 0 to PI*2
