Marconi:


Disregard my length question...I found this on sirio's gainmaster and I believe now that your model length is good enough, the pic shows an effective length of 6.9 meters which is about 22.6 feet after I convert.  Attached pic for everyone's viewing.  I still will have some question in my mind about it's actual length, but someday i will get one and measure it.  Either way Sirio was attempting to improve on the 5/8 wave and I shall leave it at that.


Needlebender:


I wait to see where you came up with your 3/4 wL theory for the AP.  There is no mention on the AP patent and I don't see why they would label their original box as a 5/8 wave and risk false advertisement claim.


But i do see from the modeling how they possibly were attempting to improve the 1/2 wL and how through the use of historical naming they could call it a 5/8 wL.


Some very interesting discussion here thanks for all contributing.

P.S. forgot to post picture on gainmaster for Marconi,,,please hold.
