Default hey W8JI

why do dislike 5/8 wave antennas? can you point me to any references. i
realize there is a high lobe.

i have an old Low Band Dxing, and ON4UN seems to like 5/8 on 40. i
personally tried a 5/8 vertical on 10 with bad results. however, my ground
system was terrible.

i plan to try 5/8 with full 120 * 1/2 wave radials.

i remember at one multi-single, we had a 1/4 wave 10 meter at 100 feet that
was even with the beams sometimes.

i believe K3LR mentioned he was building a 10 meter 5/8 wave 4 square. was
he kidding?
