Tiger Tail for 27 MHz?

2000-01-11 Thread Lacey,Scott
Fellow Listmembers, I have a question regarding tiger tails used to improve transmission characterisics of a hand-held transmitter (HHT). The HHT is basically a dipole, with the chassis as the bottom element. The tiger tail is a quarter-wave length of wire that connects to the shell of the
