Sputnik 5.8ghz Antenna

[jaysonragasa]

I decided to call it Sputnik for the mean time.

This is my very first antenna I came up with while I'm balancing my life.

I am not a graduate of any Radio tech, so please don't kill me.

I initially built one without going to 4nec2 first because I don't know how to use it.

and tested it around 150 to 200m with bunch of tall coconut trees. Flew around it to test the penetration and I was surprised, I didn't saw any static feed so I was happy about it.


I finally decided to learn 4nec2 in terms of modeling the antenna, but I cannot fully understand what the values should I look for to say this antenna is "OK" I am hoping you guys can help me, what you see? Is this a good antenna?

SWR 2.1
Efficiency 100% (is this WOW?)
Radial-eff 118%

Thank you

Look interesting, I will follow this thread closely. Keep working.

This is very similar to an antenna I worked on in 2011 I called "Bluppnik" after Blupp and I started developing it. Sadly, I abandoned it as I couldn't get the performance I wanted. Let me know how your antenna works. Hopefully it will work out better than mine did.
