Antennas for VOACAP: Artificial high-gain antennas

 

This is a collection of artificial high-gain Type 11 antennas which do not exist in reality. They are all omnidirectional, with a gain of 16 dBi at given elevation angles.

They can be used as representatives for antennas which are not known, for instance in estimating a coverage area for a state-of-art amateur radio station in a contest. You may also use these for simulating which elevation angles give the best reception in the area of interest.

Unzip and place these in a separate directory under the \antennas\ subdirectory.
