Considering that it meets Maxwells requirements and is at least a

the output will exceed that of a 160 M antenna which has a ground plane.

A full length vertical is what you are talking about?


I also suspect that if I diddn't concentrated so much on small physical
size it could easily be uprated to compete with a yagi!

Now here do you mean a directional antenna of your kind, or which?



Of course if all is already known about radio this
would seem impossible but in a few weeks I myself will have a few QSOs
to see how it matches up to my expectations.
The archives show all the building instruction but it appears that
readers have concentrated on
nonsensical retorts without reading the content.

Art, throw me a bone here. I've looked in the archives a bit, and you've
been a prolific poster! I saw a 160 meter vertical you were posting
about, but it had a radial system, and I don't think this one does.
