Ok. *So what have you changed from a standard helical design that makes
it "not conventional" ?

Your original description sounded pretty much like a stock 1m band
helical, so if you've done something to pull it down 160:1 in frequency,
I'd love to hear what it is. *It must be simple and obvious, because you
didn't mention it in your post.

Oh, I forgot.

Art, you need to google for "axial mode".

I tried to share and I started with Gauss's law of statics. I never
really got into it hard because of the reaction to the first step.
Without an understanding of that first step it becomes impossible to
move further. Yes, I have made comments beyond that point but I also
left out certain factors because my work is not complete. The bottom
line is that the new antennas have been made and meet my expectations
up to this point but I have more to do. This group is not for antenna
debate it is for gottchas
by those who perceive themselves as experts and beyond the point of
debate.
Now I accept the group for what they are while enjoying my
achievements on the side.
As for you telling me what I need to do with respect to axial mode, I
know my own needs better than you.I think you will be better off
listening instead of posting starting with what Cecil has to say and
the difficulties that you are having in digesting.
