But facts indicate they can be. I use such a system on 80, 40 and 30
meters.
The Hygain hytower used some parallel elements in combination
with stubs, as do many commercial antennas. TV antennas do this as a
standard design practice, as do scanner antennas.
It models OK, it works out mathematically, and people are successful
using parallel dipoles if they follow the rules.
