OK, if it really does what you'ze guyz say then someone needs to come out with a collinear version, one phased on top of the other.

Can you imagine the gain?

Can you imagine the size!!

But do-able for VHF-UHF.

- I'm already scheming on how to utilize the base and radials / radiator from the Penetrator to make one.

I wonder if I could adapt the Beta matching system, with some mods...?

Edit:

One thing I'm somewhat miffed about is why you, Bob85, and you, Shockwave, end up with two different loop radial lengths, and by more 10%!?!?

That seems to me like it would be a critical measurement and something which wouldn't change radically, even with differing ground conductivity and height above ground.

[QUOTE="CDX-007, post: 171437, member: 1254"] OK, if it really does what you'ze guyz say then someone needs to come out with a collinear version, one phased on top of the other. Can you imagine the gain? :) Can you imagine the size!!
