This antenna also appears in Bailey`s catalog of antennas on page 521 as
"Half-Wave Antenna and Connected Reflector". Its resistance at center
frequency is 50 ohms where its gain is 4 dBd. Bandwidth is 60% for 3 dB
down.

I wonder why everybody isn`t using this antenna?

Hi Richard,

This design (with references to the 1930s) from Bailey (given a full
chapter treatment) leads to its kin in Krauss' W8JK Antenna (which
probably answers your question, Richard).
