I'd understood second-hand that in addition to being bigger, the N element is more efficient because the folded section is outward from the break in the element, rather than inward, resulting in better current distribution and more nearly-full-size perfornace. Any prospect that this concept could be adopted for a shorter element? Or do I have it all messed up....? 73, Pete Smith N4ZR n4zr@contesting.com Don't forget to update your entry on the World Contest Station Database, at http://206.102.70.3/search.htm -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
