Thanks to all who helped me understand that it makes no difference at 
all whether the center conductor is connected to the vertical portion of 
the antenna or to the horizontal "phasing line."  Thanks also for 
helping me understand WHY!  And thanks for clearing up that the 
radiation will be broadside to the horizontal line.  One of the internet 
sites is absolutely wrong at this point...VERY confusing!

Now I can sleep tonight.  :-)

Warmest 72/73,
