very interesting, the FCP is a way to allow the real estate challenged (no place for a true ground radial system, or a long high vertical antenna) to get something that will do more than just warm worms
i would think the FCP would help those who do not have the opportunity for a 3/8 or 1/2 wave inverted L or vertical to not burn up all the power in their back yard barbecue area. my 120 up 130 out has a very driving point high impedance, so the current going into the counter poise would be very small compared to what would go into it with a 1/4 wave radiating element mike w7dra ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210 _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
