Yes but what was described wasn't a doublet up in the air. IIRC, he wasn't using a feedline, so one end of the wire is close to the ground and the rig. More like a semivertical with one radial. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
