Hi Les,
There is something on my web site about a Slinky Beverage. I even almost
forgot it was buried in there!

There is a model you can download. I verified some Eznec models against an
actual slinky antenna someone loaned me, and compared it to lumped loaded
Beverages. It works exactly the same if you use lumped inductances along the
antenna or go through the bother of using a slinky.
