Quote da un vecchio post su TowerTalk, del 2004, del buon W8JI Tom:
The best way to measure anything is to measure what you want
to know as directly as possible. Radiation resistance will
NOT tell you efficiency
unless you somehow can manage to normalize all losses to the
point where radiation resistance is defined.
The only way to measure efficiency is to measure applied
power and net radiated field. That's pretty difficult.
The most effective thing you can do is to establish a good
reference antenna and compare the two. Most people can't do
that. What I would suggest is you change the ground system
by pulling in many extra temporary radials while measuring
FS at a distance without disturbing anything else. If you
see a FS change, you know your system needs work.
One error people make is they measure at too large a
distance. 2 to 5 wavelengths is far enough.
Parliamone. E' un mio vecchio sogno poter misurare la reale efficienza di un'antenna, e con le tecnologie che ci sono oggi magari dal 2004 qualcosa è cambiato.... magari... su, tanto P5 non esce, usate le tastiere
