another loaded vertical. more details are required to see if its another
EH, CFA, or some other variation of a standard loading arrangement.

Anyone know anything about the "technology" in the article below?

Do you think the technology might be similar to the 160 meter indoor
antenna called the TeslaVert?

Werner has the device located indoors at his home and is enjoying many
QSOs on 160.

Of particular interest was one variation of the design, for 160M, that
used a flat coil and a spherical radiator at the top. As Werner
studied the design, he started to think about the role of spherical
shapes in general Physics and noted that virtually all real shapes,
and shape models found in the universe are spheres or derivatives! So,
Werner concluded why not use spheres for experiments with capacitive
radiators? And why not see what could be learned about the
superposition of fields, by using these shapes?


Here's a cite to a fractal sphere antenna:
