Topband: 2 elem Top loaded vertical

[Richard (Rick) Karlquist]

I built a 2 element driven array of top loaded 27 meter verticals
that were spaced 30 meters apart.  It worked about as predicted,
with around 4 dB forward gain and 15 to 20 dB F/B.  The bandwidth
was better than a parasitic array, but still only a few 10's of
kHz.
