[Elecraft] Craig KD0TXL...best antenna

[James Rodenkirch]

Conflating narrow bandwidth with high efficiency isn't a good thing to do, necessarily. Efficient 160 verticals across the band can be realized if one "fattens the radiating element."

Oh and for the record, high efficiency antennas have narrow bandwidth. This may be desired depending on your needs. For most we need wide bandwidth because we work the bottom and top of the band. Inverted v antennas are nice due to being omnidirectional but are more susceptible to man-made nose. Dipoles are bidirectional. The arrl antenna books are well worth the cost.

Sheesh......
