Hi Richard,

Just wanted to mention, there are several discones on the market assembled
with circular arrays of horizontal and 45-degree angle groundplanes plus a
trimmable vertical element which is the only radiating element of those
discones. The vertical radiating element comes from the factory cut to 2m
but can be shortened to suit. I have owned a few and they are anything but
deaf.

Best regards,

Hi Jack,

It would be if it were designed to a lowest resonation (through
lengths involved) at 25MHz.
