I don't remember the particular one character you mention out of the handful or more of meaningful responders Donald.

All I know is the nice guy that promised to test your ideas was in the process of moving, and promised to do the work after the move. A year latter he recanted, saying much trouble had gone on in his life since the move, and he had to beg out of his part of the agreement or no agreement that you two made or didn't make on the eHam forum in Booty Monster's thread on his homemade Vector ideas. At best the idea discussed toward the end was always on again off again.

That kind of surprise me, because I thought the design idea for the S4/Vector was a very good idea and proved that a 3/4 wave monopole could radiate a very low angled signal on the horizon, but I guess these guys all figured out it was nothing more than a raised up 1/2 wave similar to a J-Pole, with the primary problem being such an antenna would be a common mode nightmare.

Several have responded since the deal was declared off, including me, but no body is apparently interested in a CB antenna that is arguably not worthy of discussion over there on eHam.

[QUOTE="Marconi, post: 498077, member: 903"] I don't remember the particular one character you mention out of the handful or more of meaningful responders Donald.
