Good Evening,
It was a mild, smokey week. Wind moves the smoke around though you
can still taste it. The wind also causes a steady rain of fir needles.
Dry weather has caused more of them to die off. Black berries are not
doing very well. The jays have a lean and hungry look.
The sun has few sunspots today but it is still fairly active. They
are losing track of individual CMEs. Each has its own velocity so they
can merge or pass one another. The auroral oval shows when they are
energize the ionosphere.
Please join us on (or near):

To model the Real part of the 1/4 wave vertical antenna radiation pattern
#define ETA 376.99111842000 // eta = 120 * PI; // in free space
double f = 100; // frequency in MHz
double h = 1; // height of antenna
double I0 = 2; // maximum current in amperes
double r = 100; // distance from antenna to observer
double size = 50; // used for scaling
lambda = 300 / f; // wavelength in meters
l = lambda / 4; // length of antenna 1/4 wave
k = 2*PI / lambda; // to save some space
Sweep radius around the Y axis
for {0 <= phi <= 2*PI}
stepping along from {0 <= theta <= 2/PI}
radius = size * cos(k * r) * (k * l * ETA * cos(theta) * cos(h * k *
sin(theta)) * I0) / (2*PI * r);
For the imaginary part sweep
radius = size * sin(k * r) * (k * l * ETA * cos(theta) * cos(h * k *
sin(theta)) * I0) / (2*PI * r);
