Default Antenna Drawings

It has been my experience that most people that are sharing their antenna
designs on a web site have very bad drawings of those antennas so bad that
it is hard to determine how to build them. Well I would like to help
change that. If anyone here is actively maintaining a web site with
antenna designs and would like better drawings, please let me know. I
will draw them in 3D and give you the 3D model to put on your web site
along with screen shots and or PDF drawings of the 3D model. For web site
visitors to view the 3D model they have to download and install the free
viewer and download the model. The viewer does work as a plug in to IE
but it's not very easy to use that way.

That's a great idea Chris. Also, it would be helpful if you posted some of
the antennas from QST on a website. For the past few years, they typically
do not have a clean electrical diagram of antennas described in articles.
They include so many mechanical details with the electrical, that it is
often hard to recognize something as simple as a loaded vertical. For
example, I never had the patience to figure out that GPS antenna they posted
a couple of years ago.
