Hello Cecil:

Once again, I extend thanks to you for your 'elmering'. I
understood your response completely.

the vertical configuration: It seems then, that the 2nd half
of the cycle on the vertical (where the current flow is coming out of
the vertical element and into the radials) is practically worthless in
terms of radiating signal into the 'ether'. At first thought it would
appear that there is more efficiency with an elevated 1/4~ vertical
element and using elevated radials and or counterpoise -vs- ground
radials.

Cecil, I can only offer thanks, but it is many thanks...!
