OK, it's 3 years later and I'm posting.

Meter propagation. But hey! It's a 1/2" wave vertical antenna - It ain't that complicated.

My only problem with the antenna is that the birds seem to like to sit on the gamma loop which is a bit weak so I might try to support the loop with some kind of non-metalic support. Ed/KB6DRN - Central California

Birds don't like HF.
