Why do you call it a 1/8 wave loading coil?

It's like matching a yagi.. I don't alter the element
lengths of a yagi to get a batter match. I use the
appropriate matching scheme, and leave the elements
the length they were designed to be for the gain/fb
the antenna was designed to produce.

This is a great thread! Cooperative discussions like this are way too
rare!

As a humble student of the Art, I have come to consider each antenna
as belonging to either a Resonant or a Non-Resonant classification.

While there is no "best solution" to most antenna configurations,
understanding the decisions you make and utilizing the available
resources make a big difference in the outcome.

I hope you guys can keep the thread going for a while, you are
answering questions that I have been unable to ask!
