[Elecraft] Center-fed antennas

[Al Lorona]

Precisely because of this objection and countless others, is why I expressly stated, "...at the expense of any other possible advantage." I think we all understand that there's no magic antenna. The 'magic' of the antenna we're discussing here is simplicity, all-frequency operation, and high efficiency. No other magical claims are being made.
