I was just guessing that you guys were talking about what would happen if we slanted radials up on a .625 wave radiator, and I thought he said it would not work.

 

I must have misread the words. Other than that, I don't know for sure if SW and I are ever on the same page. I like SW, and I don't know why that happens to be the case.

 

I was thinking 22.5' for the 5/8 wave with 4 x 105" or so, with slanted up radials.

 

To be honest Homer, things are going so fast between these two threads, I'm not sure what I thought SW was thinking or saying. I'll have to go back and re-read the posts.

 

The 5/8 wave with slanted up radials was not what my point was however, I was intending on trying to demonstrating more on my idea about how the S4 design might be working, and that the process may be as simple of what slanted up radials do, rather than this business with phasing and what have you that is so hard to understand.

 

No body is going to slant radials up on there 5/8 wave, so forget my idea, I wasn't trying to suggest that as an improvement. What I saw was not an improvement, in the sense it would be worthwhile to pursue. The process was also not destructive, like I thought SW was suggesting, as I recall.

 

I'll revisit the work and email you, since I think you asked for some info.
