Different text sizes seem to destroy the graphics, I used the medium size in
Outlook express.
Anyway the upper is OK , the lower should look like this

from OP
My question:
Is there any difference if the shorted end is pointing to the center or to
the tip of dipole.
Only the stub portion has two wires in parallell, the rest is only one wire.

Jouko, I noticed this thread took a detour, but I never saw anyone
actually try to answer your question. I too, am looking to see the
answer on this.

It is amazing, all this talk about a Lattin antenna, that appears to
have lots of sites talking about how it works, but no one actually
having built one or used one, and a simple "yes" or "no" would answer
your question.

I don't have the answers or the means of testing one at this time. If
you get the answer direct, please post it here.

Thanks
