Thanks for the reply Richard...

He and his cohart were in the DX window on 75 working a CT0, his buddy had a
6 foot version and both got good reports. The large (18 foot) was running
1500 watts. The smaller one was running 200 watts. As to band conditions, I
later worked an EA with a 5/9+ running 100 watts to a G5RV. I was hoping
one of the EZNEC Gurus would take a look and give us the skinny.


When I looked at the photo, I had deja vu of a CFA.

He claims that it is a "minium reactance antenna" thus the name.

Hi Fred,

A simple glance at the SWR chart reveals it is in fact a Maximally
Reactive Antenna - at least the initials are preserved.
