Left Hand Polarization cones and the 2-ERSA mount

Wouldnt you know it, as unlimited an antenna that the ERSA-1 is, almost all the ERSA's manufactured so far have been RHCP, right hand circularly polarized antennas, as referenced to the IEEE standard. Of course they work great and pick up all kinds of signals, still leading to the question, are we missing the "other half"? you know, the possibility of Left -hand polarized signals, especially from bounced sky waves, moon bounce, and space object radio generators. The answere, at this time, is probably, in theory anyway, I havent done enough work in LHCP experiments or listening, to know for sure. 

But I can make the technology available, and rely on your help for experimentation and answers  We all know the RHCP units receive all three or four wave types-circular, horizontal and vertical at lesser signal strength, and lots of slanted/mixed sky-waves.

The left-Hand polarized type is a little more dicey, a real question mark-and somebody needs to do some work on it! 

It stands to reason that if we want full signal strength from a given direction, we need both polarized antenna directions to get it.

And that leads to another brainstorm- how do we use 2 ERSA units at the same time, in the same direction, with any sort of accuracy?

Enter the new RDF table-top bi-pod shooter! It sits on a table, accepts 2 ERSA antenna tubes, and has provision for interdependent aiming ( pseudo tri-angulation) and x-y axis movmnet from a single pistol grip. and its made out of plastic , so it wont interfere with normal ERSA specs! will we post photos later, and listings on ETSY .

NEW features on the 20 inch ERSA

The 20 inch ERSA tube is always being improved, but remember that the insides are the SAME, a powerful SAM-1 rigid cone antenna , a CX-1 radio capacitor, and a TE adapter for the reflector- which is NEW for MAY, we replaced the two aluminum discs with a single piece curved unit a narrow rectangle of the tube material , with a double layer of aluminum screen and a cover- they work great and are more convenient than the discs.

You can order one on Email  for $7.00 , free post in the conus if you already own an ERSA unit. 

The next NEW Item is a vertical "Rocket stand" that allows the ERSA to be upright on a table. has room for switch operation and can be slipped on -off by loosening a screw. These are only shipped with new units until we can get shipping boxes to fit. 
Also , the new no-connection radio adapters are in production, order one and a rocket stand and a new reflector and have boxes that - $32.00 for the whole kit with FREE post. 
We will put this kit on etsy.com/sorethroatguitaramps to be viewed and purchased.  thats all for the update ,we are behind in production,  I gotta get soldering ! -proff

The ERSA unit-"always ON", cant be turned "OFF"

                                  Notes on the Ersa-1 SpiralCone Antenna  
On the outside ,the Ersa looks like a simple plastic pipe without obvious function  or use. 

The components on the inside, however, are dynamically active at all times.
What does this mean? The three active components in the tube can be stimulated by any 

electrical signal, and since the tube is "transparent" to radio and magnetic signals, these 
components are in a continuous state of reactance to the surrounding signals.
Signals in our surrounding environment come from many sources:

1. Man made radio transmissions from ultra-high frequency cell phones to very low frequency ground waves.
2. Magnetic waves from electrical grids and commercial machinery.
3. Endless variety of noise and waves from extra-terrestrial sources, like the Sun. 

The SpiralCone is sensitive to radio and magnetic signals.
The CX-1 radio Capacitor reacts to RF and any AC signals, while at the same time charges 
and discharges like a simple DC battery.
The TE isolation module also behaves like a DC battery, getting charges from the first 2 
components and also the GRR-1 reflector.

Simply put, the ERSA unit is always"ON", even when disconnected from external equipment.
There is no practical way to turn it OFF, or prevent the internal reactions from occurring.

The above statement is profound Knowledge.

The pessimistic electrical engineer will suggest sheilding, Faraday cages,and burying the 
darn thing in the ground.
Yes, we can take those extreme measures, knowing it will reduce the surrounding signal 
levels and provide an electrically quiet environment.
But the SpiralCone and the CX-1 together form a "tank circuit". Such a tank is always 
vibrating, always active, responding to any external stimulation, however small.
For people living in our dynamic universe, it takes little imagination to raise some 
interesting questions about the theory of "always ON".

1. Since the ERSA is essentially a broad-band, non-selective "sensor", what is it detecting that I am not aware of? 
Most monitoring equipment is highly selective and serves 1 or 2 
narrow objectives.
2.Is there a difference in operation between daylight hours, nighttime hours, or locations on the globe?
3. Does "always ON" mean it is reacting to signals in other dimensions, presuming other dimensions exist?

So, even buried in the ground, the ERSA cannot be "turned off".
The unit would have to be dismantled, and the sub-assemblies cut to pieces and physically crushed.
