[TowerTalk] Dumb question

[David Gilbert]

Hi, Jim.

Assuming this is a homebrew design, if you can accurately describe the 
physical dimensions I'll try to model it for you:

1.  length and taper of the elements

2.  diameter of the elements

3.  Location of the capacity hats and a complete description of what 
they look like.


If the compressible coils are right at the feedpoint and on either side 
of it I don't need their dimensions ... I can just choose an inductance 
that makes the antenna resonant.
