Sorry Homer but I totally disagree. I read the patent and it refers to two 1/4 waves, one per side of the ring, plus one more made by the top 1/8 wave plus it's cap hat which they claim equals a 1/4 wave, the 3rd 1/4 wave or 3/4 wave total.
I also read that you can remove the top 1/8 + cap hat element, extend the mast up 1/4 wave above the mounting plate and it will perform similarly, though not preferably.
