Will you please give me a description of how you nested several
half-squares. I have been modeling single half-squares fed by
open-wire (connected at a corner or down part way on one of the
vertical sections) plus a tuner. The patterns look pretty good
if one stays within 2:1 or 1:2 frequency ranges but beyond the
low angle DX pattern fails. I have given thought to nesting but
haven't really come up with anything. Are you using a single
feedline or multiples? Any help would be much appreciated.
