Hi folks,

The alternative to a 1/4 wave open stub at 435 would be a 1/4 wave shorted
stub at 2401, right?  If so, wouldn't that be easy to build into a helix
feed?  I'm thinking of a short piece of wire parallel to the ground plane, 
with
one end attached to the feed point (N-connector), and the other end soldered 
to
the ground plane.  234/2401*12 = 1.17 inches long?

My thought here is that being a shorted stub, it would put the feed coil at 
ground
potential for most frequencies - lightning protection, 432, etc., and 
probably
do a fair job at 1.2 ghz.

Im I close?  Is there a reason to use a 1/4 open stub on 435 instead?
