Sorry, I guess I drank too much of that cough syrup-


In the first paragraph of the pdf you posted a link to of Maxwell he says it's not .64 but actually .6346:

"I have performed a computer analysis

of the 0.64-l' vertieal radiator; a pattern

integration yields 0. 6346 L (228.45" .)

as the true optimum height, furnishing a

gain of 8.1898 dBi, or 3.029 dB over the

?Jfvertical."


 I was hoping you would try a model of the 276" x 1" dia radiator(no top hat) with 107" x 1/2" dia radials just to see what the gain and pattern look like.


Then I was wondering if you had interest in putting it up with the top hat at 261" for 27.385 or whatever freq you usually use to test them out to see how it did on your hand-written s-units sheet/ chart as a .64.


I guess I better stop buying *hic* the cherry flavor:wink:
