  Design Goals - ON4AA

Like many fellow radio amateurs, I own a fairly standard shortwave radio 
station consisting out of a good quality HF transceiver driving a 1kW 
tube power amplifier.

I never chose to spend money on a kW-rated (balanced) antenna-tuner 
since /the adjustable pi-network of the output filter-tank of my power 
amplifier allows me to tune out VSWRs of up to 3÷1./ The goal that I set 
out was /to design an HF antenna, with a VSWR of 3÷1 or less over the 
full bandwidth of as many amateur radio HF bands as possible, with a 
preference for the low- and the non-WARC bands 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WARC_bands>./ This design goal has been 
achived with a new kind of antenna;
