Hi Skipp Using coaxial-type and have tried both the coax and solid screen by way of solid copper sleeving over centerwith dielectric from rg-213.
My question is that there seems to be very different thoughts on the first element-some use 1/4 and others use 1/2. Every article-design seems to state that there antenna works well or better than antenna X or Y. Of all the designs none have substantiated the design with an analyser of any kind -all are going on only VSWR readings.Good VSWR does not mean good antenna .
