I would speculate that building an antenna to cover a band 42 MHz wide is much more complicated.

Have you ever taken a look at this web page that has a lot of info about a number of different antenna types?

Hi Tim, I know it's complicated. I appreciate your help. So yes I'm familiar with Holl_ands, he's an antenna modeling Guru. I tried to contact him, maybe he'll contact me.
