If an OCF is shorter than 1/2 wave for the frequency of operation, it

Hi Buck,

Modeling would suggest otherwise.

The difference between a 1/4 wave center fed and off-center fed (at
10% from the end) is about a 12% increase in real resistance, and
..25dB gain improvement, both favoring the off-center fed.

Are you comparing short antennas to long antennas? If so, it wouldn't
be a surprise, would it?

Coming in late, did I miss someone's extravagant claim that a OCF
could do better?
