For those who read themselves to sleep, I have add another 5-part item at
the site on half-size verticals and methods of loading. Covers full-size
and capacity hat models, along with lumped constant and linear base
loading. Does not get exciting until part 4, which is non-hat top
loading, including linear, zig-zag, and helical fold-back loading. The
last section has a little surprise--a spiral hat. (Just read what I wrote
here and asked myself "Should I really talk like that on a radio list?")
Forget part 6 unless you want to replicate models because it is 44 KB of
descriptions of the models used in parts 2-5. 3.6 MHz is the target,
since few folks want a 67' vertical unless they already have a tower.
Hope it is useful to someone, and hope these notices are not a bother to
the group.
