Thats ok mate. Believe it or not, u actually make a bit of sense, so thank you!
I was wondering if I constructed the same antenna, but dimension it according to 21mHz/300 to give me a 14.2 metre bandwidth, then quarter that to give me a front wire diameter of 3.57 metres, which is what I am thinking it should be... then put a larger reflector behind to cover the new diameter. Would this work better?
