Talk:HRS antenna

Alphabet soup
What do the letters HRS stand for? Jim.henderson (talk) 00:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I, too, would like to know what the letters HRS stand for. Tim 12 June 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.229.150 (talk) 21:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it means "Highly Ridiculous Setup". Joking aside, though, this is an important fact that has been left out of the article. I'll try asking the original writer........ Kelisi (talk) 09:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

It's thoroughly discussed in the article: Horizontal Radiator, Slewable (or Steerable) Altaphon (talk) 03:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

The CCIR Antenna Diagram Handbook (1984) clearly explains the meaning of HRS as well as additional nomenclature. H means horizontal di-pole(s) without reflector(s), not slewable; R means with reflector(s), not slewable; S means slewable. Therefore HRS means an array of horizontal dipoles with reflectors and slewable. HRS 4/6/0.5/+/-30 means an array of horizontal dipoles with reflector, 4 half-wave dipoles in each horizontal row, 6 rows stacked 1/2 wavelength apart vertically, the lowest row 0.5 wavelength above ground at  the lowest operating frequency, and +/-30 degrees slew in azimuth of the main radiation lobe.

This article is atrocious
Is there any relevant WikiProject that can save this article? It needs a thorough copy-edit and cleanup. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 14:42, 5 January 2011 (UTC)


 * This article was atrocious - I've just taken a bash at making it a bit less so! Steve Hosgood (talk) 15:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Merge article into Curtain array?
The article Curtain array covers the same type of antenna; I don't see why there are two articles. And Curtain array covers it much better, explaining the antenna in plain English. I suggest merging this article into Curtain array. -- Chetvorno TALK 04:46, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Actually, Curtain Arrays are a style of antenna. HRS, Sterba, and several others are specific types of this style. Trying to merge HRS with Curtain Array and trying to say that all Curtains are HRS arrays just isn't so. It would be like saying all web browsers are Firefox instead of saying "this is what a web browser does", and "one type is Mozilla Firefox, Another is Opera Browser".

So, no. not really merge-able. A great place for a "See Also", however. 96.245.5.204 (talk) 20:08, 15 July 2016 (UTC)maxnort(I'll reclaim my account one day. maybe)

oh source? ARRL handbook. start here:
 * I'm not saying that "all curtains are HRS arrays". I'm saying that the HRS, Sterba, and several others are specific types of curtain array, as you admit above, and so could be covered in that article.   Virtually all the content of this article is duplicated in Curtain array.  Unless there is too much material for a single article, which there isn't, much redundancy can be avoided by describing these antennas in Curtain array.    BTW, there are many online sources on these antennas better than the ARRL handbook. -- Chetvorno TALK 23:03, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed and ✅ Klbrain (talk) 21:43, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. The "HRS" shorthand nomenclature CCIR standardized is used with all types of curtain arrays, so I feel the merger is appropriate. -- Chetvorno TALK 07:16, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
