Well Cecil:

You know me and my fondness for "tweaking" electrical lengths grin... I
suspect it is more than possible to have 'em the same length, and indeed,
you seen the folded 1 wave monopole I played with, it did exhibit side
"nulls."

Now, as to if the gain of the beam you point out is exactly equal or better,
I doubt--as opposed to one being longer/shorter director/reflector
(remember, I still ponder the ethers part in all of this--and NONE of our
formulas take it into account)... but besides all of this...

I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN ONE!!!!

And, you know I am a hopeless "Assumer"--I dare to assume if it were such a
great idea, I'd see a bunch---but then, I am open to a discovery here!!!

Come on Cecil, with so many after my scalp--I can't afford losing any hair
to you!!! grin

I gotta get some work done here--I am turning off message notification... I
will read/respond to your come-back later... grin

Warmest regards,
John
