I have a 73 magazine from Sept. 1998. There is an article by Chip Cohen N1JR .
"Multibanding the Fracvert Half-wave." He describes a wire vertical for 20 meters
that can also be used on 40, 30,17,15,12, & 10. Simple antenna: Feed section
(vertical) is 11.8 ft, Horizontal section 17.4 ft. Top section (vertical) 23.6 ft.
Radials were 17.5 ft wires around the base of the vertical feed section.
I have done many searches for HF fractal antennas on the internet. There are
some articles that don't require a math degree to understand. But I get the
feeling that any articles that gave details of the construction of one have been
removed. I believe that Chip N1JR founded a company to develop and build
antennas for the military and commercial interests. I remember seeingthe 10 meter
beam article too, but good luck with googling it.
