OK Art,

I will take a crack at building up one.

The flatness of the SWR curve concerns me since
you have close to a radiating dummy load unless
you are dependent on the feedline to do the
radiating. The last several small antennas have
this common problem and when fitted with a proper
isolation balun at the antenna feedpoint to
seperate common mode radiation from the feedline
to the antenna, the antennas were nothing close
to their claimed performance. Would you please
address this issue?
