Someone asked about link coupled antenna feed. The Mosley S-402 40 meter
beam uses a big loading coil in the center of each element and is link
coupled by a wire around the driven element coil at several inches out.
Carl Mosley(SK) wrote a paper on link coupling 40 years ago or more showing
how effective it was.
Most old timers used the same type coupling to attach a scope to watch their
modulation from a transmitter.
The Mosley beam works well but my Cushcraft 402CD is better.
