I got some pretty good search results when I Googled "linear loaded
antenna". You have to put the phrase in quotes to get best results. My
search yielded about 193 results.

There's an antenna called the "Cobra Junior"
www.vk1od.net/cobra/index.htm that may be of interest.

Of course Cibek has a very technical discussion of various loaded
antennas. I usually just read the last paragraph summaries to find out
what he's driving at. www.cebik.com/gp/linvert1.html

Here's a good short description of linear loading - I believe the ASCII
graphic is accidentally end-wrapped. lists.contesting.com/_topband/2002

Here's a description of a portable linear loading antenna:
http://www.io.com/~n5fc/notebk_ant.htm that seems good for moderate
distances.

Hi..

I wish to build shorty dipoles for 20 and 80 meters and have considered coil
loaded but dismissed them as too narrow band so i`m considering linear
loading
for b/width and space ...(my garden is 14ft x 35ft )...

I find my homebrew magloops r/x very well but don`t t/x too good!!! hence
the need for a larger directional ant on the rotator without encroaching on
neighbours space ....(too much) .... ;o)

I have googled, but there isn`t much info available and what there is, is a
little
too technical for me to take in.. /

Is anyone familiar with the merits (or otherwise) + information and s/ware
for
designing and building said antennae ?? all help and pointers welcome.
