Ken:
The replies you have received are ALL empirical.
Empirical implies real life results. My experience....compared to a wire
shortened Inv. Vee are that it is VERY poor in comparison. It loads fine,
but it really performs poorly.
What are you looking for in modeling ?....I have it modeled in MININEC.
