[Elecraft] More fun with short linear loaded wires and the KXAT1

[Dale Boresz]

Hello Michael,

I've experimented quite a bit with linear loaded vertical dipoles, and 
found that placing capacitance hats at both ends helps a lot. Not only 
does it lower the resonant frequency for a given length of wire, but it 
also raises the radiation resistance so the antenna will be more efficient.

Maybe you could try something like back-to-back telescoping antennas 
tied to the top of the wire, such that they balance out and remain 
somewhat horizontal.

Have fun!
