[TowerTalk] B & W Folded Dipole

[ve4xt at mymts.net]

In Sept. 2010, W1ZR wrote not a review, but an unflattering analysis of terminated folded dipoles based on his analyses and those of VE2CV.

It's on the QST archives. Basically, the caveat is understanding the trade off between bandwidth and performance. Let me guess, the marketing copy you saw didn't talk about reduced performance, did it?

Nothing wrong with prioritizing bandwidth. Just as long as you know what you might be sacrificing to get it.
