When Is a Meter Not a Meter?
Synopsis: This presentation is about why we assume a 41” rod antenna has a half-meter electrical length. It is some historical trivia which nevertheless answers a question no one else living knows the answer to. Kind of liking knowing why a 2 x 4 isn’t really 2” x 4”. You don’t really need to know why to build a house, but as I said, in this case, no one knows why. I stumbled across this with a recent museum acquisition that is close to eighty years old. The presentation will showcase a pair of old EMI meters that are easily transportable and can be viewed by members post-presentation.
