I have plans to do as you suggest, in fact I have already done that idea, and what I saw is why I have this change of thought on the subject of phasing make the Sigma design work.
I can't exclude the idea you and Bob hold completely, because I tend to see what I think you and Bob see in the Sirio model, but I'm just not sure we are seeing phasing that is collinear in affect.
I tried to get an idea for NB to work the other day that was working with similar ideas, and it failed miserably as far as I could see, and it had real collinear phase shifting elements in the model. I realize just having such features in a model does not mean it will work right, so I didn't mean this statement that way.
The idea, in a practical way, is almost identical to what the Wolf .64 antenna does, and I can't get that model to work right either. I have perfect dimensions to go by with the Wolf, because I have the antenna to measure.
So, there is more work to be done and it is hard for this old man to keep up with all the ideas in the two threads working currently.
Maybe you can save me some time re-reading your words with Homer. Were you two talking about a standard .625 wave antenna with slanted up radials?
Just let me know if you can.
