Actually it's 62"..........If you can wait a second I'll give you the

Tnom;

I plugged in the values that you posted. By simulation, the
Stainless whip has just about a 1 dB edge. The S/S whip has its main
lobe at 27.9 degrees, the X-terminator at 31.2 degrees. I posted a
current plot for it in:

alt.binaries.pictures.radio

I played with the parameters for the coils, and one coil works just as
well as the 2. Guess it just doesn't look as cool?
