That's where we started on this sorry thread. Go back and read the
posts, including my 1/4 vs 1/2 wave dipole design done in EZNEC, and
then let us know how well a 1/4 wave dipole works.

Did you pay Roy for your copy of EZNEC or are you one of the software
bootleggers who steal from Roy Lewallen's work?

Do you know how to operate EZNEC properly?

Then why don't you build a 1/4 wave dipole for whatever band gets you
into Central PA. We'll do a sked, and see how well your antenna works.

Why don't you write a Famous Paper on "Why a 1/4-Wave Dipole Will NOT
Work" and have it published in RF Design magazine? [that's an electronics
trade publication, usually well-respected among RF industry folks]

I'd love to see the Letters to the Editor section on that one.
