Can you tell us how big would it be? And what about the coil dimensions,
losses? Can you do an EZNEC model so those of us who have the simulator
can look at all the parameters/arguments?


It can be any size one wants. The bigger the better of course..


What? Maybe you don't fully grasp the idea of a "short" antenna? ;-)


Rickman, please. Is that the tact a Gentleman would use? It seems that
your comment may be designed to invoke an ungentlemanly response. This
is exactly the sort of response I was hoping to avoid. I beg you to be a
bit more tactful.

For example "Well, of course, but what do you, personally, consider is a
short antenna?"
