If anyone would like to discuss other forms of broadband antennas and
ways to build or model them please join in.
I believe, although I'm not 100% sure, that discussions of all forms of antennas
are permissible on towertalk.

I started modeling with a simple dipole, got 200 KHz bandwidth, then added 
another element fan-style and got 300 KHz bandwidth.

Then to see what a cage might do I added a third element and made all three
parallel separated by 1 meter.  I think that is probably a pretty fair 
approximation, and as time allows I will add more wires and prove that 
connecting them at the far end isn't necessary.
