OK, then I now come up with a VP = .45 for the ones here. Since they
work fine and do not require a preamp on 160-80M I would think that even
lower VP's are possible.
It may be possible to erect an equivalent 1 wavelength on a suburban
house lot.
I can picture it now. Some Texan will build a circular track and rotate
one. Sort of like some of these monster EME arrays.
