WHIRLWIND MARK 10 XN 126. TRIALS OF MONOPOLE AND WIRE AERIALS WITH ANTENNA COUPLERS 180L AND 490T FOR USE WITH COLLINS 618T HF
Abstract
Results are given of comparative flight trials on two possible aerial systems for Collins 618T HF radio equipment in a Whirlwind 10 aircraft, these two having already been selected as best after ground tests not reported here. It is concluded that a monopole aerial, together with Antenna Coupler 490T-1A, is the best of the systems proposed and is likely to be operationally satisfactory provided that steps are taken to overcome the tuning failures and the burning of the selector switch.
