Basically, it's just a top hat loaded cage vertical. The short height works fine as long as you have an excellent ground (which they do) and you can tolerate narrow BW (that's FB on the BCB). The SWR bandwidth (at least modeled) isn't too bad: ~ 100 kHz at 160M between 2:1 points. 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated on June 5, 2004 2728 contest stations at www.pvrc.org/WCSD/WCSDsearch.htm _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
