Topband: TOP HAT

[George & Marijke Guerin]

Hi Bill et. al.

I seem to remember a top hat diameter is approximately equal to the same
amount of wire added as an inverted-L configuration.  For example:
    a  vertical 10 meters tall with a 5 meter diameter top hat is about
equal to an inverted-L antenna 10 meters tall with the horizontal top
loading wire about 5 meters long.

I do not remember the magazine article you are referring to in your message.

Good luck,

73    George    K8GG
