Yes, and I believe they occur 1/4-weave back from the open-circuit ends
of the antenna and at the very center of the antenna.

Thanks, That's what I was looking for. so I can use the antenna with
1/4 - 3/4 or center loaded.

Would the off-center setting create another resonant frequency for the
antenna?

Assuming the antenna were cut for 1/2 wave at 7 MHz, it would operate
on 21 MHz, but if off-center fed, would it also resonate on 20 MHz
with the 1/4 wave element?

Thanks.
