ever wanted to know about phasing multi-band verticals."
To which I will append: The best thing I ever did with a 14AVQ was
convert it
to a 33' tapered piece of aluminum, and put it on top of a 50' pole
with 4
radials. It was a killer on 40m, holding regular skeds with hong kong.
The insulated base is convenient. The traps ... well, can we say IR
loss?
