<<<SORRY. MADE A FEW MISTAKES ON THE FIRST MESSAGE. NOW,
THIS ONE IS CORRECT.

Talking about these things. Yesterday, I was setting up my
new top-loaded
quarter wave vertical for 80 meters (see me at qrz.com).
It´s made by EA5JK
and the loading system is pretty similar to those used at
GAP verticals. >>
Copying the loading system of GAP verticals is a mistake. It
is a very bad design. It has power limitations and it has
very poor efficiency. It is probably the worse way to load
an antenna, other than just using a resistor.
Look at actual perfromance of a GAP on 80 meters. It is
terrible. I would not copy that design.
