I noticed two other points not editorially mentioned in the QST review of the latest Click-meister rig. Figure 5 in that review shows very sharp rise and fall times; although the text says that menu

Yes, I remember that antenna. It was a broadband dipole that had transformers and resistors built into the center insulator. QST actually x-rayed and disassembled the potted assembly. Some of the cir

Its a mystery to me why hams would go for a broadband antenna of any kind, when a dipole fed with ladder line and used with a decent tuner (auto or manual) is cheaper and more efficient. Yet, I const
I agree! Ladder line works great, been there done that. It also radiates like crazy and if you are in close proximity to miserable neighbors, ladder line is not desirable fed line. If you live where

I remember an old timer telling me that on a ladder line fed antenna the fed line was part of the radiation system, but when reading all the worldly knowledge on this reflector I see this Ot-er must
Of course, one must not forget that, feedline notwithstanding, the antenna Does radiate (we all hope). So I guess maybe 5kw 5 feet away from anything whatsoever might be a problem. Now on the other h
