Re: how do you make a “loaded aerial”?

[Ogier]

I’m not sure what these look like (I’ll read the links at the top of this thread soon) but one of my colleagues just installed a springy antenna on his iWaver and it eliminated his tyre shake! We were both surprised by this.

my stock iWaver with no antenna attached has operated in an underground car park at approx a 100m range. It might have been a little bit glitchy at that distance, but I did drive it back. The standard short antenna wire was just pointing upwards and I didn’t have a body on it. It was so far away it was very hard to see which way it was pointing.

I guess I’m a bit puzzled – maybe some boards & transmitters are more accurately in tune with each other?
