Yes indeed. Or one could go back and speak to Mr. Marconi himself, for whom
the vertical antenna bearing his name was of course, well, er, named. :)
Your point (and others) being that the vertical antenna is one of the
oldest, and one of the historically most successful antennas ever created.
Not the best one of course, but a solid performer, simple, and inexpensive.
I'll still keep my large, mutli-element (not just 3) beam and rotator on the
tower of course, but I do like the vertical for many things, and if I were
not blessed with having a beam, I'd still be pretty happy to have the
vertical.

> Sure a lot of discussion about verticals. Thought I would mention that
all you need to do is check your August isse of RADIO page 26. If you have
mislaid that issue you can get same article in the RADIO Handbook page 253.
