I read a comment attributed to Cebik where he stated that any
antenna that is not 1/4, 5/8, 1/2 or 1 wave length is not much of an
antenna !
This is a false statement especially when one considers an antenna

Art, why is it that you make statement like this and never give a reference
to where you got it?

Why is it that you also continually do what you do?
I read it on E ham which is why why I used the word "atributed"
You can always read up on Cebik's pages but what is important to you,
the relevant antenna facts or who to point your finger at?

E-ham is a pretty big site. Can you direct us to where you read it please?

Irv, you are correct when you stated it was a big site!
I spent a lot of time reading readers comments until my eyes glazed
over.
It was like reading every quabble from our own archives for the last
twenty years.
I think I will have to read the Cebik articles for myself and trace it
down that way
which will be much more educating. I am glad however that I used the
word "atributed"
rather than stating it as a fact. I will continue with this progect

OK Art - Thanks for taking the trouble. Hopefully you'll find it, and next
time rememer to note the source -- even if you are just attributing a
statement. To those reading it, or at least myself, an attribution is
as good as a fact when you are trying to learn. When we find out who
attributed that statement to Cebik (who I hold in high regard), we can
perhaps learn where he got the information, or how he got misinformed if
such is the case.

BTW, bought the "Vhf" collection from Cebik
and the model eznec files are pretty good! Would
recommend them, BUT be awa SOME will NOT work
as downloaded (as ELNEC/EZNEC is limited to 500
segments). At least one had over 1000 segments!
be sure to reduce these segments IN SAME (or
similar) amounts, until they are under 500
segments (right hand column) total! then they
run fine! A very interesting collection of
antenna files and worth every penny!

EZNEC+ allows 1500 segments.
