The subject line almost says it all. This question originated because a
friend and I were speculating about replacing the linear loading on a Force
12 EF-240S with lumped inductance, placed at the same point in the elements
where the linear loading is now connected. I described it as a scaled-down
40-2CD, and then wondered why Cushcraft put the little capacity hats on the
outer end of its loading inductors. To shorten the elements a
little? Change the current distribution?
