there are some smart cookies over there zman . my results don't reflect what they are saying but i figure it's due to a mistake(s) on my part or the install/location of my antennas . i choose to go with what works for me , but i do want to make another 1/4WGP (with tubing rather than wire) down the road to see how it performs vs my vector style with their tips within a few inches of each other .

marconi , i thought of you and your results and S/W plots when the mean ol' porkbutts didn't seem to like my overgrown coat-hanger , but my results didn't support what they were saying . the vector style being able to have a fairly high tip with a modest feed-point height does give it a advantage as far as installing and not having to guy-wire . i've wondered if the taller/longer capture area could be a contributing factor too ...... but i don't know if that's true or possible ......
