Thanks to Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) for this fascinating comparison between a single wire antenna and a "classic" cage dipole. This antenna was designed for the 20m and 10m Amateur Radio Bands. According to Kevin, the cage antenna was more broadbanded than the simple wire antenna--something you may need for a home or portable ham station antenna. Here are some comments from Kevin: Another comparison between a single wire and a cage arrangement. This time on the end fed half wave antenna.
