HI Reg, Unworthy of what? That's like saying your programs smell, but
not what they smell like-. I for one an grateful and have used your
programs, and EZNEC. I consider them both an asset to to my knowledge
of antennas.


So anyhow, is there some interesting discussion to be had on this
antenna? Richard Clark started to touch on it, but I'd like to hear more.

As a true dilletante (so take my advice with a grain of salt), I would
have to expect that the antenna isn't going to work all that well, and
the wellness of working is going to decrease as the frequency goes down.

Putting more wire in the air generally works, but putting all that wire
right next to another wire that is part of the same antenna could make
for some issues.

In "short" I suspect that your antenna will work out on the higher
bands, but even if you get a match on 160, it won't be too awesome there.


Some other factors with your tuning are going to be height above the
ground. I always seem to misoverestimate my height above ground. Was
there a suggested height for this antenna?

Hopefully this helps. just remember, I'm no antenna Guru.
