*Hi Armin..
I have been using this type of antenna for some years with very
good results. http://www.iol.ie/~bravo/low_band_antennae.htm For
reasons similar to your own, I cannot put out an effective radial
system. I took the idea from Rudy N6LF's article in QEX. You can
download it from Rudy's site at

*I got a good match to 50 Ohm when centre feeding the vertical wire, but
I now feed it at the base..i.e. the juction of the bottom capacity hat,
and the vertical wire, where I also see a good match, and where it's
much better from a mechanical point of view.
