Bilge. All of it. A 66 foot dipole is roughly a *half wave* dipole on
40M and a 134 foot dipole is roughly a *half wave* dipole on 80M. A 33
foot long center-fed dipole is a quarter wavelength long on 40M but it
is not resonant on 40M and ya better not get stupid and feed it with
coax then just plug it into the back of yer radio if ya wanna work
anybody with it.


A search on google on quarter wave dipole will give plenty of sources.

It surely does but not many of them actually have anything to do with a
quarter wave dipole. Many deal with comparisons between half wave
dipoles and quarter wave monopoles.

While it is possible to construct a quarter wave dipole, such an antenna
would be quite difficult to match and would not be very efficient.
Despite this, our resident airhead, Kim, has come up with a number of
urls which she is positive prove her case. She even thinks she is using
a quarter wave dipole at home.

Kim is a ditz who knows nothing about morse code or antennas.
