I've read with interest the discussion on the Lattin antenna. I couldnt
help but wonder if this type of contruction could be applied to a 1/4
lambda vertical antenna mamde of metal tubing. I can see some
neighborhood assciations accepting this as an artistic flagpole design.
Heck my wife may even like one for 80,40 and 20 in her flower bed. Our
35ft flagpole has gotten lost among the oaks, we really need something
more statuesque.

Parallel fed vertical will do the same job with a lot less trouble. See
