Hi, Bob:

I'm good, really too good ;o) at mis-writing, dag nab it, and I forgot that
15M wasn't a ham band when Lattin was working on the patent for this kluge.
IIRC, the design was for 4, not 5, bands: 10-20-40-80M, with single wires at
D. Accepting that, and re-writing just the C-stub function ...

SNIP
If the dimensions are added up, the overall physical length approaches
that
of an 80M dipole. "Loading-effect" of the "fat-wire" dipole could be
helped
along if needed on 80M by additional wire length past A.

The A-stubs reduce the electrical lengths each side to overall
40M-dipole-size.

Ditto B-stubs on 20M.

******rewrite*** Ditto C-stubs on 10M. ******rewrite******

Changing the D-lengths to single wires, or shorting both inner ends,
completes the 10M-dipole section.

SNIP

... should do it.

Imagine adding 60-30-17-15-12M to this kluge.

Lattin's patent was 2535298.

73, Dave, N3HE
