When it comes to the Big Hair antenna I'de love to set one up or even see one in person...

I'm guessing by the design that that upper radial is actually a phasing stub, but am not sure. I suppose they could run a coax to the upper section through the lower section as well... As I'm not sure how they are achieving the collinear between these methods it is difficult for me to model an antenna like it...

I would be curious as to the price but I'm sure I can't afford it at the moment, and I have yet to see directions for it, or anyone who has one with them putting it together on-line.

One thing I do know is they are not self supporting. If you look at the background images on their main page there are clearly guy wires attached...
