What Vertical Antenna Do I Need?

[Fred (FL)]

Thanks for all of the "vertical" tips and HF product
ideas.  I didn't realize how many of these kinds
of antennas might be out there.   Has anyone actually
used or seen a "Sommers" vertical?  It sounds
interesting, but even on their website - there are NO
photos or even clear diagrams of what it might be?

I did find a "Diamond" "BB-x" vertical, no radials HF
antenna - that apparently is only marketed in
Australia. It looks very commercial, almost bullet
proof - but HRO said they didn't carry that model of
Diamond HF antenna here in the U.S.  Again - not much
info on that vertical either.

Thanks again - for your help!

I know Fred, that the Sommer beam uses some cleaver loading techniques to
give multi band performance.  I think he used the same loading on his
vertical element.
