Topband: wire on the ground antenna

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Have you had the opportunity to actually MEASURE it's pattern other
than at the ground?  You can get a good front to back and forward
pattern on a single band.  It's length would not suggest resonance on
a ham band unless one had been in the modeling program for a spell.

73, Guy.
