Thanks for responses. Yes I am aware there is problems with quite a lot that is written, I drew focus away from pulling the article apart. However it does have reasonable diagrams and a few decent photos which certainly goes further than many posts about the antenna.

Ok so the middle section capacitor is not a capacitor at all just something to wedge the copper wire in place. Well it still rattles a lot !

Here we have another picture of the internals:

If this was a straight short either side of the nylon piece (copper wire to copper wire) why would you put this bit of brass tube round it if it was doing nothing ? I am interested in what the circuit of this antenna is when I see such images.

I find it all rather mysterious to say the least.
