Topband: Gladiator

[Joe L Blackwell]

I mounted the center loaded Gladiator at 25 feet with the four factory
radials sloping downward slightly.  I added six loaded radials.  The
antenna easily takes 1500 watts, receives about as well as any vertical.
The 2 to 1 SWR bandwidth is about 25kHz which is not good if you S&P in
160 contests.
Easy to tune to a frequency of choice by adjusting length of top section.
