OOPS! The Adcock is just like a loop -- two nulls off both broadside faces.
The version that looks similar (previously mentioned) where you have two
vertical dipoles spaced 1/4 wave and a 3/4 wave connecting cross-feed line
gives the cardioid -- one null.

Thanks for the correction; I'm only in my 40's but I've been
hamming a long time, and the years are starting to blur...
Now that I think back on my "real world" experience, the boom
on what I thought was an Adcock could well have been a
wavelength at 2M, tho, as I said, it's kinda fuzzy now... so
it may be that the elements were NOT fed at the center.
Oh well, either way, a good notch is going to beat the
best yagi.

Man, those must be some tasty turtles, to go to all this
trouble to track 'em down...

73, tnx agn..
