Cecil,

Thanks for the book reference.

I searched amazon for it but they are charging $187 for it.

Do you know where I might find a second hand copy ?

Regards

David

In "Antennas For All Applications", by Kraus and Marhefka, third edition,
page 824, a 1/2WL over 1/4WL collinear array vertical is described that
allegedly has a gain of 6.4 dBi. There is a 180 deg. phase reversing coil
between the bottom 1/4WL and the top 1/2WL. The entire vertical should be
less than one foot long. The 180 deg. phase reversing coil is the tricky
part.
