Dave,That was my thoughts on it also. Two wires
very close togethether with in phase and more or
less equal currents just adds up to a fatter
wire.
Not a fatter wire with twice the current?
Recall the colinear J-pole, The two currents are stacked and fed in phase
by means of the phasing section. Yes, I realize the currents in the Slim
Jim would appear to cancel.
I'm going to have to build one of these and see what it does. I have a lot
of twinlead and I have a precision RF generator. I always wanted my own
antenna range; tomorrow's the day. Maybe Tuesday.
