Title: Vertical antenna with low angle of radiation

Abstract: A vertical antenna comprises a substantially vertical conductor supported on an insulating rod and wound tightly at the top to provide a top loading coil. A capacitive plate is conductively attached to the antenna conductor between the top loading coil, and a connecting adapter located at the lower end of the insulating rod and to which the antenna conductor is joined. An additional radiating coil is wound over the lower portion of the antenna, including the capacitive plate, while being insulated therefrom.
