I don't operate on 40 M so I may be missing something but exactly what is it

out with this antenna that would make it desirable to hams? Efficiency would
be reflected by the loads
used which is not necessarily "state of the art". He then states "a large
F/B is effected"
but it doesn't show before and after overlaid plots !

Before and after what?


Would hams have an interest in a two element 20 M
antenna that have lower TOA than the norm, say 9 degrees instead of the
normal 14 degrees?


I think I can quickly put one together for the week end while putting the
present assembly aside.

Hey, I know Eric. See: http://www.cal-av.com/antennas.html

for the commercial version of his design.
