The velocity factor in the coax is the same on all bands (of course), but the amount of phase shift between the two antennas will be different on different bands if unequal line lengths are used. The
Pete, I think you're (and they) are right. I was thinking the difference in phase velocity between coax and air made the compensation unequal on the different bands, but I think I now see the (speed
Guy, interesting analysis on stacking. I was just wondering if your max gain numbers were at a constant elevation vs. stack height or not. I wouldn't think so. In other words, wouldn't the optimum st

Pete, generally the reason why some people use odd number of quarter waves in feed line length is to reduce unwanted current from flowing on the outside of an unbalanced transmission line (coax) when
I've had a C3-S/D here in windy Boulder for the last year. The D model (100MPH rating) has the 20 meter elements beefed up with an insert tube in the center of both elements. I've never had a problem
Lexan is a trademark name for polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is very durable and literally bullet proof. A friend of mine fired a 44 magnum into a 1" thick piece at short range and it hardly even made

Scott, Capacitors made from G-10 material (dielectric constant 4.8 and 1/16" thick) have about 17pF per square inch of capacitance and a breakdown voltage of about 50kV not including edge effects. Th
