Hi Volks,

I like that "current collector".   What do you store that current in?  The
sink?  ROTFLMAO...

But I don't quite understand the 1/4 vs 1/2 wave stuff.  If I recall 11M is
something like 33 feet so a 1/4 wave is something like 8 feet or 96".  Using
the correct numbers will probably get a 100" answer +or- 4 inches.

So if I tune to the max current feedpoint it is the base of the 104" whip.
A 46 inch device without loading circuitry is more like 1/8 wave.

A good standing wave on 104" gives max current at the base and max voltage
at the tip.  I guess my RF stuff is rusty insofar as understanding the 1/2
wave aspect of 27MHz on a 46" antenna.

So I am seriously interested in the 1/2 wave info.
