Hi Steve
You mite try Antennex.com for more on the Cross Field antenna. That site is a
subscription only
but you can access the Discussion Board for free.
I have built the CFA and it is kinda radiating but like so many others, we are
finding that it doesnt
compare to a full size dipole.The authors and editorial staff never seem to
give enough info to really make the antenna work......cold fusion comes to
mind.....
