Steve and All,
Well, not exactly! You remember those Gothams huh! I had
one of them. Back in 1956 I bought a Gotham V80 when we
first moved to New Mexico--no trees there like I had in
Oregon! All the V80 consisted of was a long piece of
aluminum and a loading coil! I don't remember how tall it
was, but it may well have been something like 22 feet. It
was base loaded, and not all that easy to use multi-band,
particularly if you had it on the roof! It wasn't hard to
make the decision to use it as a monoband vertical, and mine
became a 20 meter vertical. I don't remember for sure, but
I think the coil became superfluous! If I'd been smarter, I
would have set it up like Jim Duffey suggested, although I
don't remember anyone selling remote tuners back then.
