Thank you for your response, interesting that this particular antenna configuration and location of the coaxial connection would yield a 50 ohm impedance, not sure the science behind this but from the YouTube videos I have watched and the various website pages I have surfed this is not normally the case. BTW, curious as to your definition of " surprising results " ?

I am leaning toward a more circular design, although it appears that will present more of a challenge (from what I recall trying to figure this stuff out was half of the enjoyment, and you guys left me out in the woods too long I started researching this on my own), I also want build an antenna(s) that will work on a few different bands, realizing some, more like most, aspects of this are far more complicated than I will ever understand.

I need to brace a few cross ties and clear out some space in the attic to prepare for the build(s).

BTW, I never really cared about looking stupid by asking stupid questions I would rather learn than care about what other people think, again, thank you for your help.
