[TowerTalk] 1/4 height vertical for 600 meters? 160?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I wonder if anyone has considered building Breakall et al's design for a 
massively shortened vertical antenna - 0.05 wavelengths, according to 
the technical paper at 
http://www.kintronic.com/resources/technicalPapers/2.pdf.  I originally 
thought about it for 160, but it seems even more of a natural for 600 
meters.  Granted, 4x 30-meter verticals would be a substantial effort, 
but it would ;probably radiate a lot better than the inefficient short 
designs we'd be using otherwise.
