Just announced on one of the reflectors I subscribe to, the Dayton Antenna and Contest Forums are now on-line.
Antenna Forum
The Dayton Antenna Forum has three presentations. The first is Real World Antenna Patterns vs. Theoretical Computer Antenna (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/Real%20vs%20Theoretical%20Antenna%20Mesurementsv5 NULL.pdf) Plots by Mike Wetzel, W9RE, and Tom Chance, K9XV.
The second is A New Approach for Measuring Complex Antenna Currents in a Vertical Array (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/W8WWV08 NULL.pdf) by Greg Ordy, W8WWV (love THAT call…).
And the third is Multi-element Lowband Vertical Arrays – Approaches for Small (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/multi-element%20lowband%20verticals%206 NULL.pdf) Lots by Ted Rappaport, N9NB, and Ray Sokola, K9RS.
Nice to see those Midwestern calls!

The fourth is SDR and Contesting – The Future is Now (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/sdr_and_contesting_the_future_is_now NULL.pdf) by Pete Smith, N4ZR.
The fifth is Beamforming on 160 Meters (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/beam_steering_on_160_meters NULL.pdf) by Victor Kean, K1LT.
Finally, Contesting with 28 Miles of Feedline (http://www NULL.kkn NULL.net/dayton2008/contesting_with_28_miles_of_feedline NULL.pdf) by my former neighbor John Battin, K9DX
Thanks to KKN.net for hosting these presentations. All of the links are PDF files.
