[TowerTalk] Cage Dipole Project Question

[David Gilbert]

What spacings are you considering?  In other words, 6 inch spacing 
between wires for a cage would give you approximately the equivalent of 
a 7-8 inch diameter cylinder, while 6 inch spacing between wires in the 
same plane would give you approximately the equivalent of a 2 foot wide 
ribbon.  Is that what you want to compare?  If so, EZNEC should give you 
a pretty good indication of any difference in bandwidth.  The trial 
version is free, you know.
