Hi All
Tht didn't look like what I thought a folded unipole was.
I had an antenna here made out of 450 ohm open wire where I fed one side of
the twinlead at the bottom (like a regular vertical) connected the 2 wires
together at the top, then grounded the other side of the twinlead. I
thought that was a folded unipole. 73
