I am familiar with folded dipoles. Can anyone describe folded 1/4 waves or provide a reference to read on the subject? Would anyone have purchased the above antenna and could give a brief review of performance? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Feb 1994 19:34:31 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!news.moneng.mei.com!uwm.edu!msuinfo!netnews.upenn.edu!netnews.cc.lehigh.edu!ns1.cc.lehigh.edu!c002@network.ucsd.edu Subject: grounding a ground plane? To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu how to i ground a ground plane antenna for lightning protection? ground the ground? or just get a inline coax protector?

To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu Can anyone tell me about the CACUS H antenna? It looks like a jpole but it's in the shape of an H. Some of the local hams are passing around some hand-drawn plans for one for 2 meters. I can't find out where it originated. I'd like a reference to it and some information about what it is (how it works) and how well does it perform (either theoretical or empirical results). Thanks. John M.
