OK, then I now come up with a VP = .45  for the ones here.  Since they
work fine and do not require a preamp on 160-80M I would think that even
lower VP's are possible. 
It may be possible to erect an equivalent 1 wavelength on a suburban
house lot. 

I can picture it now. Some Texan will build a circular track and rotate
one. Sort of like some of these monster EME arrays.
