Jim. The bigIR can be tuned to a quarter wave on all frequencies from 7 to 54 
MHZ. On frequencies from 21-54 MHz you can select a 3/4 wavelength mode. 

Vswr graphs will mirror theory and will vary with your ground system.  I have 
used this antenna with raised radials, tuned stub radials and a ground mounted 
radial field.    Works well in all cases.  It is still a quarter wave vertical. 
No magic
