Jim-
You're disgusting. And you weren't even close with your WHAG of 17sf. See
Bud's calculations prepared like a true engineer, and you'll realize that the
correct answer of 18sf puts you way off the mark. :) Thanks, Bud for the
formulas and calcs. I'll save them and use them for the real antennas.

I bet that it is somewhere between 10 and 30 square foot!
My guess is that it would favor the lower number as it seems these
things get worser faster with stronger forces (must be a geometric
progression of some kind...)
Guess from a non-engineer:
17 sf
Okay P.E.'s, how close a guess did I make?
73,
