To be really fair, particularly after reading the attached, I wonder if the writer is at all familiar with a 240N. The Magnum 240 and it's various implementations in older multiband Magnum xx antennas *IS NOT* the same as the newer Magnum 240N. It does not use the same linear loading scheme, size reduction ratio, or mechanical schema. The linear loading does NOT wrap to center and form part of the element support scheme. The center of the element does not have any linear loading against it. Magnum 240 experience will not apply to the original poster's question. I myself had many serious questions about the old 140 style elements, which are largely answered in the new 140N element design. I would encourage any reader who finds this information novel to go to the web site and look at the differences for themselves. 73, Guy.
