[Antennas] The Top Hat?

Thu, 2 Oct 2003 12:24:48 -0700

I would suggest trying cebik.com for info.   The top hat is a way of
shortening verticals, or other antennas, using "capacity"  .   Works great
on mobile aerials, too.   73, Mark  AA6DX
Start here, perhaps --      http://www.cebik.com/linvert.html
