Hey Lee.

The video guy says the radiator is 27' from the center. What do you think he means when he says, "...from the center," center of what?

He also claims it is a 7/8 wavelength antenna.

If the radiator is 27' feet above the bottom radial stand-off brackets, then it looks to me like this is a 3/4 wavelength antenna.

The radials look close to 9' feet tall and that is close to the height for the New Vector 4K. My old Sigma 4 had radials 92" inches high and when I stood it up the loop was maybe close to 2 feet above my head.

This Zero Five does look to be much more robust however and that could be a plus in bad weather.

Good report from both you and Simmon. Keep us posted if you hear more on this one.

Thanks,
