Hi Slick

Your getting above my head on that one.

I know if I move the light back and forth a few inches it will dim and
then go out, there are several points along a dipole where the lamp
will have high brightness and this is where I put the lamps.

I know the CBers used to put a neon lamp on the tip of their mobile
antenna's. I first tried it on a 10 meter mobile and it worked fine.
But on a ground plane it didn't work, then I started moving the light
down the shaft of the antenna and found a spot where it did work just
great.

Back in the good ole days of the Heathkit Sixer lunchbox, I could put
a flourescent lamp against my mobile antenna and it would light up on
transmit. I never could get it to do that when I was using the Saturn
V halo though.

TTUL
Gary
