Hi Dave,

Super gain? I improved the gain and the feed Z by throwing away 4
wires. I hope "AO program by Beasely" is not slurred by this example.

Center Frequency of use 14.25 MHz
element length height

1 209.46 927.1 feed element
2 198.25 973.97
3 172.78 822.86
4 219.83 964.4
5 185.53 922.4
specification for a classical waste of time. [However, it is
certainly the poster child for first establishing a reference against
which improvement is measured.]
