<DIV>Dear Mr. Hoch, my name is John Foege and I comes from the USA. Although it if English to determined speak flowing and/or write can, I would like to practice my German nevertheless a little, by writing this email perfectly on German. It becomes certain in the substantial extent Write errors give. I strive however, so far I those Technical terms know to express everything correctly. etc. and so on. My question to you would be: It is conscious to me that the element length of a Yagi array depending upon type of mounting must be adapted. Apparent is the reason for the fact that one produces an additional capacity for nylon rivets by the mounting tube on the basis attachment method. This must become balanced with appropriate inductance. Speak: the elements must be extended. On the basis your formula concerning element length corrections is the correct Korrektur-Faktor easily determinable. I thank you again you for it! Which I but do not understand so completely, is the reason why all elements except the driver element to be adapted must. Why is the driver element then considered as an exception in this procedure? If I , also arrives this additional capacity counted correctly with this element. Besides this element must be also extended, not truely? My question refers in this case naturally up my kind of supply, i.e. T-match a supply, whereby that Driver element is not divided into two semiconductors in order to feed. If you could be perhaps helpful me in this question, I would be pleased much. I thank you in advance and wait completely strained for an answer for your part. Yours sincerely, John Foege 73s de KB1FSX </DIV><BR>_______________________________________________ 450 mailing list 450@lists.vhfwiki.com http://lists.vhfwiki.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/450 </div></body></html>
