Hi Peter et group. Sounds an interesting antenna, but for full band
Rx coverage I can't see what a folded resistively loaded dipole has to
offer over the conventional short whip into a high impedance voltage
follower other than strong signal handling, which isn't an issue at
our new operational site.
Andy,
you may want to look up
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/0109031.pdf
which Frank Gentges K0BRA designed (with very minimal help from me :-)
The design was published in QST (Sept 2001) and many were subsequently
made by Hams and others.
Flat (within 1 db) from 15kHz to 30MHz
If overload is not a problem at your location, then, as the article
suggest, you can use some other JFETS that then one we used in the
original design
