Well, I meant an active 1/2 wave over another active 1/2 wave by making something 1.5 total = 3/4 x 2 where the radiation from the center 1/2 is canceled and the top 1/2 + sleeved 1/2 would be in phase, but now that I ponder it, if broken & center-fed it would display inverted phase so the bottom of the sleeve would begin to radiate 180° out of phase (270°-90°) from the top 1/2 wave (90°-270°) so no good.

It may not work right unless a gamma is used, depending upon the phase angle being introduced at the gamma feed point.

Do you recall what were the radials length and the ring diameter?
