i guess i need to set a day aside to read this entire thread from beginning to end . LOL


anyhow , does a gamma have to be used for the tuning of the vector ? what would happen if the gamma was taken off and a coil was put at the base of the vertical and taped ?

would it tune ?

would the ground elements no longer "add to the vertical radiation" of the antenna ?


im guessing theres a good reason why a gamma is used rather than other tuning methods for the sigma style antennas , but id like to know why . thanks .
