I am always happy to learn more about my inventions Duncan. Can you summarize
what it says? I remember looking at this antenna in 1990 and do not remember
it as being particularly useful for a low Q antenna at very small height. It
is a reasonable example of a multiple current max in a small height when
somewhat electrically small and thus is useful as a miniature colinear at
about 1/8 wave. It has good bandwidth at that height.

Why did the author choose this? There are many fractal antennas to choose
from-why this?

Did I miss something perhaps?

What problem was the author addressing?

Could you forward a copy?
