[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Niel Skousen]

I'm pretty sure I've seen this antenna on the net, but don't recall the name nor have I been able to find a link to a description / design data.

The county ERC has a 'shortened fan dipole' with three parallel elements, spaced about 18-24" apart on each side.   the longest element folds back around the mid-length element toward the shortest element.   The antenna end insulator / guy rope is attached to the long element, where it folds back.   There appears (from the ground) to be a 6~8" insulator / gap between the end of the shortest element, and the longest element where its been folded back.  no traps, loading coils, or loading resistors that I can see.

I'm assuming three or four band coverage (80, 40, 20, and 15 ??) with a 75m dipole, a 40m dipole (with 15m as a freebie), and a 20 m dipole.   but would be interested in more technical details if anyone can decipher my text description above…

Thanks
Niel
