[Antennas] Re: Hairpin monopole

[Roy Koeppe]

Concerning,

"Hi to all,

Recently, looking into Internet for information about indoor antennas
and
antennas for reduced spaces I found the Hairpin Monopole article written
by
Wilfred Caron. It seems very interesting antenna, is there other places
where I could find more information about this monopole?(I do not see
clear
the pictures and explanation of Mr. Caron) Any experience of some of you
with this antenna?

I'm interested in using it for 20,40 and 80m...

Hi Juan,

The very reasonably priced paperback VERTICAL ANTENNA HANDBOOK by Capt.
Paul Lee, N6PL discusses many versions of this antenna. I am using a
folded fan vertical unipole myself with very good results. One feature
of having a folded element is that the entire antenna is always at
direct earth DC ground--a comfort during lightning storms. The book is
available from Radio Bookstore at:    http:www.radio-ware.com

Good luck & 73,
