BTW, Jim
I assume that 18:1 is the impedance ratio, and the turns ratio is of the
order of 4:1 or so

Sorry - didn't make it crystal clear that this is a Delta shaped variant of
a EWE antenna!!!!
My bad for not utilizing all of the necessary verbiage to make that
clear....you see it in ON4UN's latest book on page 7-104.
