HF Vertical Antennas - An Update

A little bit of looking at HF verticals of the past and present with some
notes on just what makes antennas work. Following with my notions of how
verticals can play a bigger role for amateurs with some current available
technology to make an effective HF vertical for the amateur that needs a low
profile antenna.
