I don't know either NB, I can't see the current flow either. I'm not sure what the significance of 26" is either, or did I ask that already?

Not that it makes a hootin' lot of difference, but if you read the article again I think you'll see he said .05 wl was the minimum necessary counterpoise in his testing, but I could be wrong too.

Good discussion, I just wish I understood current flow.

O yeah, did y'all know the matching coil in the A99 was a single wire and the shield is probably tapped at the resonance point, with one end attached to the outside of the capacitor and the other end attached to the center conductor of the coax, and a the short tail, maybe 3" floating up inside the insulator inside the capacitor? If I could do the drawing like Nav did, I would draw it for you guys that are curious. That is the way it looks to me
