NB, here is what my Imax model shows with 4 - 1/2 wave radials. This sure has a lot of currents flowing on the mast, but according to my idea, it looks to help...if you see what I see.

There use to be a Ham operator here in town that swore he had something similar and he posted on the Internet that it was stronger than a 3 element beam. I went to his house and he had an old Imax with 2 broken radials that were short like the GPK uses...just hanging down with 2 working right.

Do you see a non-apparent collinear look in this pattern with a null between the two 1/2 wavelength elements? IMO this has to consider the system includes the mast as radiating similar to the top 1/2 wave radiator?

Do you think maybe this could possibly describe some of what Cebik told Bob...about being hard to make clear in a discussion on the Internet?
