My inspired guess, (if anyone really gives a rip... ) is that the differential currents in the lower ¼ should cancel, leaving the upper active part both well elevated above what one would get from a standard bottom-fed 5/8, plus, (and due to the cancellation of the lower ¼ wave currents) should be allowed to fully radiate as an unimpeded ½ - 5/8 wave, thus producing roughly the same gain as seen from the SGM, which is also an unimpeded full 5/8 wave unlike the active 3/8 left to do all the performing in a standard bottom-fed 5/8.

OK, now just TRY to disagree, ...I DARE YA!

[QUOTE="CDX-007, post: 246246, member: 1254"] My inspired guess, (if anyone really gives a rip... :wink:) is that the differential currents in the lower ¼ should cancel, leaving the upper active part both well elevated above what one would get from a standard bottom-fed 5/8, plus, (and due to the cancellation of the lower ¼ wave currents) should be allowed to fully radiate as an [B]unimpeded[/B] ½ - 5/8 wave, thus producing roughly the same gain as seen from the SGM, which is also an unimpeded full 5/8 wave unlike the active 3/8 left to do all the performing in a standard bottom-fed 5/8. OK, now just [B][I]TRY[/I][/B] to disagree, ...I DARE YA! :D [/QUOTE]
