I think: If your assumed numbers were those of the Mosley beam, its
SWR would be 4:1(without losses), and with losses included she would
be ¡a very nasty antenna!. I think the ham buyers would not be very
happy with such a poor antenna on both cases :)


I am not saying that the Mosley antenna has a bad SWR or that is has a low gain.

I am just saying that the explanation they give for their matching arrangement
is not convincing. And this leads me to believe that their matching arrangement
is not equivalent to a simple capacitor in series...
