Oh! I get it now, it will be used on a mobile install. Your thinking makes sense now.

So your post of the 1/4 wave cage styled radiator was telling us what was on your mind earlier, and I thought you were trying to re-design the Vector. That will be interesting.

I'm sure now that you have modeled it, and I really would like to check out your Eznec5+ model. Maybe that is the model of the Suburban you first talked about a while back. I won't be picking on you now that I know you are serious, I just hope you'll stop all the double talk and maybe some of us can make sense of what you are saying at times.

Here is a somewhat similar idea kind of idea I think. This one appears not to need a matching device, but I would guess one might still be useful at dealing with a bit of reactance at resonance issues. This model use 4 92" Francis Amazer antennas I think and there was no radiator inside of the cage. IMO, this may have improved bandwidth a little by making the radiator look very big without adding the physical diameter necessary, but I don't see much advantage in the design. Seems I recall the book reference idea you posted the other day also didn't have a center radiator, except maybe a little bit above the hoop at the top of the cage, but I could be wrong on that.
