The starting point for this
design is the well-known
5/8-lambda whip antenna
with base coil as used for
mobile communications in
the 2-m VHF band.
Interestingly, this type of
antenna is readily tuned to
6-metres. Add a wideband
low-noise preamplifier and
you have a wideband rod
antenna for a large
frequency range (20 kHz to
150 MHz).
