[TowerTalk] Cage Dipole Project Question

[David J. Sourdis - HK1A]

If I am not wrong in The Antenna Compendium vol. I or vol. II, there is a wide bandwidth dipole made with only two wires spaced about 6 feet for 160m, wires meet at the ends on each half of the antenna. The author says it spans 1.8-2.0 MHz under 2:1 SWR. A scaled model for 3.75 MHz is under 2:1 for 3.5-4.0 MHz.
