Hi Ed, I can appreciate your line of thinking. However, I am 99% certain that he --and others-- published what he said here well before he came up with his FCP design. Also, other technical gurus here have long stated the same thing.
Also, his original site crashed, and I don't believe the FCP stuff was there until later. But that's a moot point. I don't use an FCP, since I have room for elevated resonant radials here. But it's a great compromise for those on postage-stamp size city lots. :-) I just saw your other message as I was typing this reply. You have a higher degree than I have. Perhaps others will comment on this. I hope so. 73, Mike W0BTU On Sat, Feb 29, 2020, 1:58 PM Ed Sawyer <[email protected]> wrote: > No attack intended. But his website is titled Folded Counter Poise.
