Henry,
I have given some thought to an EDZ even the improved EDZ with the capacitors to bring all currents in phase,
at the moment its not practical,
I did encourage a local friend to build an aluminum EDZ for 2mtrs which works great,
With regards to the Grazioli I am not blinded by the advertising campaign,
I boungth it at a VERY good discount from a local friend who assembled it & could not tune it on a short pole, he put it back in the box & asked if i wanted to buy it,
I have been down this collinear road before with the BIG-MAC & remember its pros & cons,
While the G-MAX is better made than the BIG-MAC or SIRIO antennas its still a fair weather antenna,
The radials are whimpy, if I get a buzzard perched on one which is likely its goodnight vienna,
unfortunately the good quality tube I have won't stretch to building a more rugged G-MAX but it may be enough to build a Highlander.
