- The antennas are called Franklin antennas, consisting
- of a fed top half wave section with another,
- insulated from the top, half wave below it.
- Most efficient AM antenna design known.

Lets see a Two Element Antenna with two equal sized
elements fed at a common Center-Point . . .

Sure sounds like a Vertical Half-Wave Dipole to me.

But calling it a Franklin is ok by me. ~ RHF
