Default Radiation patterns and loss of antennas operated well below resonance

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your help...

Because they look cool?


More because they don't take up a lot of space. I realize that any reasonably
small antenna for 2m (meaning: "fits in the palm of your hand") is going to be
a compromise anyway, but if you can have a nice-looking antenna that performs
as well as a rubber ducky, heck, I'll have it look nice too...
