Has anyone tried this:
The Simple Collinear
It looks very interesting to use very fat and very thin radiators instead of trying to cut stubs or coaxial phasing lines.
Essentially it looks like all you have to do is use say 1-inch tubing with thin #30 or so wire.
Obviously this thing will need a radome or some other kind of support, taking into account the typical lowering of the resonant freq with a radome.
Or, hang in the attic if you have to - to get anything reasonable for me, looks like VHF would be out, but maybe for UHF and above? I just might have to give this a shot!
