i would not have thought a 2 foot or less diameter ground plane would be capable of tuning to 1.2 vswr on 11 meters with a 1/4 wave verticle radiator .

i also cant understand why the 1/4 wave firestick would have more gain out the top than off to the sides . i can see it on a full wave length verticle since the strongest lobes come out the end of the top of it .

i certanly have a lot left to learn about antennas though .

ill add another request for pics .
