What is BOOM?
BOOM : Antenna element correction
In depth
A closer look at BOOM
Why doesn't the computer modelled antenna work as expected? It could be that the antenna is designed in free space, and you had to mount the elements to a boom to make it. The boom adds negative reactance to the elements. This not a problem on HF, a minor problem on 2 meters , very noticeable on 440 mhz and can destroy a 1.2 ghz design. Ever scale an antenna up from a lower band and have it work poorly? Same problem. BOOM is a handy utility designed to give element correction factors for top insulated elements and elements going through the boom and still insulated. A second page will give correction for elements that are mechanically and electrically attached to the boom.
