All I could find was a sketch so I'm not sure how it works. Amazingly the
antenna has great reviews:  http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1550

I just looked at this "antenna" on the Universal Radio website. It's a lousy
excuse for an antenna -- in addition to the loss in that big resistor, the
connection between those two ground rods is also a big resistor. And because
it's low, there's even more loss, and most of what little it does radiate
goes straight up.

To the original poster -- toss this piece of crap in the trash, buy a copy
of the ARRL Antenna Book, some #14 wire at the big box store, a center
insulator and end insulators from the Wireman, and make yourself a REAL
antenna.
