No problem Bob. I don't remember where I saw Donald say his 0.82 VHF antenna did not need a CMC fix, but you could be right...I read him wrong. I just remembered that I recently modeled his ides based on a conversation he had with Homer.

BTW, I didn't do anything to the cone radials when I made his model. I started using a 0.75 wavelength model. That model showed a little CMC tendency, so I was expecting to see his longer 0.82wl idea do the same.

Well, that is why I tried doing both ideas above and I didn't see much radiation from either model, with or without the resistors at the top.
