Default Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials in 2013

That 1+7 may well be a Belling-Lee; there appears no direct connexion to the Band III section and the rear Band III element is very close to the Band I dipole for optimum 'coupling'. A bit of a cheap 'get-out' really but it worked quite well, Aerialite & Antiference had a tendency to have a direct connexion to a band III dipole and would have used the Band I dipole as a reflector. Any-how it gets 10/10 for survival.
