Hey Mike:

Nice to hear from you, &, TNX for the advice. I am actually looking into
a folded Monopole here as a possible experiment. A bit more challenging
to resonate I think, but from what I've read abt them, they will perform
abt 4 times better than a Monopole when electrically short, AND !!
DC grounded ::: which would be a + + .

Think you might try firing up some during the winter on 600 meters ??
