Good day gents:

The purpose of the " hanging stubs " in a completely non-theorectical way, is to add extra
" Vertical " portions in the hope that they will contribute additional " Vertical " radiating
sections in the antenna... 160 meters, and hoping in the future, 630 meters, will be the only
bands the antenna will be used for...I know the stubs will add capacitance, and skew the 
current distribution along the dipole section... The question is still : " Will the Vertical Stubs
radiate RF in the vertical Polarization ?? "
