Thanks Shockwave for posting that info.
- Nice pics, too. Thanks Bob

I wonder if inverting the top 7/8, similar to collinear stacking of J-poles, would provide the full 3dB?

It would seem logical to me that any form of collinear stacking would tend to compress the 'donut' even more, resulting in what I expect would appear as gain at the horizon even though near field gain may not appear as that much improved...?

- Unfortunately that would be ~60' tall for 10m & 11m

Damn, I haven't been this enthused about an antenna project in years!
