The other end was soldered to the Frequency Output socket on the back after removing and terminating the Frequency Out Cable. This socket as standard only produced a signal on Transmit Frequency Out and was superfluous as the 696 Base has an accurate Frequency Counter built in on the front panel.

The reactance of the capacitor is transformed by the transmission line and will under specific conditions (length, value of the capacitor, etc.) make the vertical post resonant. Slight variations of the capacitor will lengthen or make the transmission line "shorter" and allow tuning of the antenna on a certain range.

It performs EXCELLENTLY!! DDRR means Directional Discontinuity Ring Radiator
