## What is My First Antenna?

My First Antenna allows you to create wire or dipole antennas that you can use with an optional antenna tuner for tuning up amateur radio bands and/or other radio frequency bands. This ideally creates the measurements for a dipole, but if you are using an antenna tuner you can also create a long wire using the total length and tune up on wires. Measurements are estimates to try and give you the best receive and send signal.

Please make sure you use the proper wires and gauges for your antenna. I am not responsible for any damage.

This application was made as an educational tool for new amateur radio operators and for current amateur radio operators looking to quickly create antennas. I also provide preset antenna lengths to get you going real quickly.

I hope you enjoy this tool for your amateur radio or other radio projects. Proceeds from the Ads go to support my education and programming costs. For support please use my main application web site page, teamWeather, and it's Facebook page or tweet me at @NS3W.

### 1/5 — Too greedy on the screen space to put your name ?

*2020-10-26, version 1.0*

I tried this after the other tester had already warned me and made my font minimal to get the results of calculations but still same problem. Too bad of a start.
GTF name out of the screen, open source the program and don’t have a dinosaur mentality 🤓

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2020-06-25, version 1.0*

Will not show results even on iPad Pro. Skip this app as there are many others that work. Results are hidden from view by number pad.

### 5/5 — Works well for calculation on a iPhone 7plus

*2018-01-23, version 1.0*

This app worked well for me. No issues and was very helpful

### 1/5 — Keypad stays in way of calculations

*2017-10-30, version 1.0*

I have an iPhone 7 Plus it also the keypad is staying in the way of the numbers of calculation

### 1/5 — Agree w guy above me

*2017-10-28, version 1.0*

One keypad is up you can’t see anything and you can’t get the keypad down

### 1/5 — HAM operator

*2016-12-25, version 1.0*

I agree, neat concept. Unfortunately after inputting your frequency and calculating a length the answer is hidden from view by they keypad. 
This stayed on my iPhone 6S exactly 2 minutes. 
Needs some work.

### 2/5 — Simple, but frustrating issue.

*2014-05-03, version 1.0*

I like the concept. Problem is, once you have the keypad brought up to enter your frequency, you can't minimize it to see your results. 

I'm using an iPhone 5.
