Default Another antenna curiosity

I like antennas that are short-circuited DC-wise. Mainly because, at one
time I had a radio on a vertical and lightning struck about a mile away and
blocked my receiver for several seconds. Of course, not all radios have a
floating input, but, it impressed me.

So, I "invented" the folded unipole which would match to a 50 ohm feed.


The Slim Jim or the J-Pole?


Neither of those are foled.
