Exactly what I was hoping for, Booty.

I have these elements in the scenario because I've come across the ideas in a large variety of undocumented resources over a great period of time.


My guess for why these two ideas co-exist is that the center loaded coil at near middle of the shafts result in the putting the radiation where it needs to be. Once done, the work of the longer whips is best put to work.

Perhaps what I'm trying to say is once the work of a properly built and placed coil is done the antenna still needs additional characteristics to maximize its efficiency.


Maybe the more enlightened will get in here and help sort some of this out for novices like me.
