------------ REPLY FOLLOWS ------------

It's not broad because it's a mono band vertical. It's broad because
of the relatively high frequency, relatively narrow bandwidth and it
being *not* inductively loaded. Try the identical design cut for 80
meters which is a much lower frequency and a larger band (500 KHz) and
you will be singing a different song. :-)

Have fun!
