| Aluminium Pool Screen Enclosure | KI4IHS | on 29/11/21 |
| In the past i have had both an OCF dipole antenna and a single band center fed dipole antenna installed in fairly close proximity to my pool screen enclosure (aluminium). Performance seemed to be pretty good and unaffected by the structure. I was mostly interested in the 10-20m bands and both my dipoles. In both instances my dipoles were installed very low (~15ft) but worked really well. Is there a rule of thumb on how close a dipole can be to a screen enclosure? Does the antenna see this structure as ground? Anyone have an EZ-NEC model that simulates an aluminium structure near a dipole? Appreciate any comments/thoughts. thanks, |
