That's where we started on this sorry thread. Go back and read the
posts, including my 1/4 vs 1/2 wave dipole design done in EZNEC, and
then let us know how well a 1/4 wave dipole works.

Then why don't you build a 1/4 wave dipole for whatever band gets you
into Central PA. We'll do a sked, and see how well your antenna works.


Geeesh what a knuckle headed bunch. I never claimed that a 1/4 dipole would
work as well as a 1/2 wave. However hook it to some ladder line and a tuner
and you might be supprised. This all started when the so called "experts"
here said there is no such thing. All I am saying is go to google and do a
search and it will be obvious to the most casual observer that there is. Was
I too fast for you are do I need to slow down?
