A bit of wire. A little curiosity.

A Wire, a Garden, a Planet

Kevin McKeown, 08/11/202608/11/2026

It starts with a bit of wire in the garden. Where the RF goes from there is the fascinating part.

The RF Globe brings antenna radiation patterns into three dimensions. Rotate it, zoom in and change bands to explore how the pattern changes with frequency—and why the same wire can behave like several very different antennas.

It’s an illustration of antenna behaviour rather than a live propagation forecast, but it gives those familiar lobes and nulls a whole new perspective.

Pick a band. Give it a spin. See where the lobes lead.
