Re: Topband: Anyone purchased the ARRL book on Short Antennas for160???

[Gary and Kathleen Pearse <pearse@gci.net>]

I've built them for 40 and 80 via his modeling years ago. Fed both up high, and 
both down low. High feed 'seemed better', but no real way to tell. Worked a RU 
station on 80 from KL7 so they do emit a signal. It was a good aerial, easy to 
build, with some vertical component to the pattern. 

On 160 it may take some bending. Fed low it's a vert with an elevated radial. 
Two would be better, but then so would four and so on.
