CDX-007,

Working on a different idea, I really don't like traps if I can use long enough elements.

Having the 1/4wl vert with two .1875 wl, wires, coming down from the top of the vert at a 30 degree angle. OR as close to that as I can make it.

Reading in the low band wire antenna books they have shunt fed towers with this configuration and moving the wires closer together or farther apart changes the impedance allowing a good match, and claim some directivity in the direction of the wires or so called 30 degree inverted V coming down from the top of the vert.

Hi-jacking the sigma thread though, apologize about that, if I ever get past the "thinking" phase of this project will start a new thread.
