Topband: Minooka or Battlecreek Vertical

[Marcus Grampp]

Hi folks,

we have a seen an interesting article about the minooka/battlecreek 
vertical antenna for 40/80/160m and this seems to be exactly what we 
need for our local contest-club-station. (www.pi4cc.nl/link/mkII.htm)
Itīs only 47ft high and needs 2 loading wires for 80/160m.

Does anyone of you havemade some experience with the real 
performance of this nice design and can tell me about his thoughts ?
Maybe with the use of elevated radials ?

Thank you in advance & 73
