Pete,
Thanks for the reply. I will try and draw a picture.
---------- 1/4 wl
----------*--------------- 14 guage top half
----------*---------------*----------------
Coax Feed --------------- 1/4 wl
Coax for bottom
half of vert
dipole
# * are connection points
# Feed coax center conductor is connected to outside
braid of bottom half.
# Feed coax braid is connected center conductor of
coax for bottom half of dipole and then is connected
to 14 guage top half of dipole.
Hope this helps.
