Topband: Kinstar AM Radio Station Antenna Design

[Rick N6PE]

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with the Kintronic Inc antenna design?

It is a 0.05 wave high AM radio station monopole, effectively 4 inverted "L"s close together (10 feet) fed with simple coax matching system.

The antenna has measured about 300 mV/m where a 1/4 wave is typically about 313 mV/m.

There are other designs with 2 or more wires.

If you put "a novel short am monopole" into Google it will bring up a PDF of technical info and test results.  These papers have al the math required to design the antenna and matching.

Or is this just another shielded loop controversy ?
