This post got me to thinking (always dangerous)


Whatever happened to that wunderantenna from the University of Rhode
Island?

Especially interesting is the comparison against a 5/8th wave antenna @
150 MHz. Presemably that antenna was matched by a 9 inch DLM.

The BW was apparently 1 MHz better than the 5/8th wave, although thte
sentence was a bit unclear with that respect.

I remain very skeptical.

Bogus or Bonanza?

I did, but it was so efficient that it melted when I tried to run 100
watts through it....
