Gee, I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping that you could get something for
nothing. :-)

If you can get a copy of the November, 2005 "World Radio", check out
"Kurt N Sturba"'s column, under "Aerials", on pg.55.-- he no dummy
when coms to antennas, ect, and hides behind that nome d'plume to avoid
conflicts with finger pointers. Tho on these antennas, a couple hundred
words, but informative. In essence, he sez that these are very lossey,
That a dipole (66 ft) on 40 meters would have a given bandwidth, IF
the Isotron had the same effeciency for it's size, it would have a band-
width of about 11 KHz. What it really has is a bandwidth of around 400
KHz this results in a signal about 2 "S" units , or 12 dB down from
THAT reference dipole. In other words, there are better more effecient
ways of radiating a signal! As information-- Jim NN7K
