Steve Bossert

Friday 1700 Gramercy Park: Ever wonder what purposes really large antennas are used for? This presentation will cover currently in use large and innovative antenna systems around the world - on the ground and in the sky. Steve shares what they are designed for and how they are used. Examples in areas like broadcast, astronomy, radar, and a few of the more niche or clandestine application areas will be covered - and not just related to amateur radio. There will also be coverage of how to scale these applications to something any radio hobbyist can copy, make, and use inexpensively at a smaller scale. This presentation will be light on history and high on modern use systems to enable cool wireless projects.
