thanks for the comments OGP . maybe my reading comprehension skills are lacking ........... but this comment seems to suggest there may still be some more performance to be had from the antenna at lengths not tested yet (that i know of) . a 36 ft vertical would be a tall SOB for sure but definitely doable .

" .............except for narrow spots near the even ratios of 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, etc. These are where the central monopole is an even multiple of a halfwave, and the antenna mode impedance is too high to allow much antenna mode current"

i need to get my crap up and start playing with it

[QUOTE="BOOTY MONSTER, post: 288837"] thanks for the comments OGP . maybe my reading comprehension skills are lacking ........... but this comment seems to suggest there may still be some more performance to be had from the antenna at lengths not tested yet (that i know of) . a 36 ft vertical would be a tall SOB for sure :ohmy: but definitely doable . :whistle: " .............except for narrow spots near the even ratios of 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, etc. These are where the central monopole is an even multiple of a halfwave, and the antenna mode impedance is too high to allow much antenna mode current" i need to get my crap up and start playing with it ;):D [/QUOTE]
