[Elecraft] Off-Topic: Your advice/suggestion about antenna

[Vic Rosenthal]

I wonder. Wouldn’t such noise be out of phase on the two halves of the flat top and hence be rejected?

Also, the nulls will be in the same directions (although the tightness of the pattern will vary) when the antenna is operated from half its design frequency to twice that (e.g., from 40 to 10 meters). 

...from someone who is using such a system with open wire feed and a Johnson Matchbox.
