[Antennas] Fw: center fed "zepp"

2003年2月10日 16:49:38 -0600

Let me throw this into the pot... A center fed antenna which is 5/8 wave each
side of center and fed with 400-600 open line is called a "double extended 
Zepp"
or can be called a "Franklin Antenna". What ever they are called, they work
great and exhibit gain on all bands above the primary frequency. Like you
said, call them what you want and use them for the best possible results.
