After my initial post (three minutes ago!) I've gotten some requests for
info on the ZL-special.
Unfortunately, an article I had giving its dimensions is wintering at my
parents summer place on Martha's Vineyard, out of reach. All I have is a
little program called ARIEL15 that will design one for you. You can get
this program at ham FTP sites.
Basically, a ZL-special is two folded dipoles made of 300 ohm twin lead,
connected together such that they're fed 135-degrees out of phase. (I
assure you I don't know what I'm talking about.)
Could somebody with brains and experience post a description of this
antenna, perhaps with dimensions in terms of wavelengths? I know others
are interested.
