Nothin' to figure out... the 102 will blow away any MonkeyMade.



It does make me wonder how any coiled antenna (which is 1/4 wave uncoiled)
could be better then a full size quarter wave. The slight inductance at
the bottom can't help. Inductive reactance increases with frequency for
a given inductance. Why would you want a resistor in series with your
radiating element before the peak voltage is developed at the tip?
