The military is using these antennas because of ALE (automatic
linking) and NVIS. I gather that while they are very broad
banded, they have less the best gain?

Any feed back?


I tend to compare the claims for any antenna to the
characteristics of a dummy load and then remember the principle
of reciprocity.

So for the BW dipole let's see. It's really quiet, esp on the
lower frequencies. It's really broad banded. It's not for me.


Dummy loads are pretty quiet too aren't they? ;^)
