Not much of an antenna per Cebik
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 element based on 1 WL. This antenna is widely used and well described in all antenna books. I have modelled a similar arrangement in Gaussian form where the elements are bent into a Vee shaped like yagi with elements extremely close together where it provides exceptional gain and pattern and can be related visually to a bent long boom but without elements. A planar antenna can also be made with a similar length of radiator with a variable resonator that makes it applicable to a continuous10 thru 20 antenna wherein the resonator serves as a radiating portion instead of the normal coax stub. Also ideal for S.W. listeners on intervening frequencies.( See Cecil's antenna page which uses variable stub lengths instead of a variable resonator) Seems like a lot of mis information is being given out with respect to antennas apparently with the silent agreement of perceived antenna experts and where caustic opinions out weigh technical content .
