Any other pointers or information would be appreciated.

Hi Glenn,

Meander is a pseudonym for Hocus-Pocus. The designer did what it took
to achieve the desired result. Being unable to describe it
coherently, the fall back position is to call it a Meander Line. In
this regard, construction details should be followed without question
or substitution to obtain the same results, maybe.

Meander typically suggests the largest antenna in the smallest box
without degrading its results over a simpler design (which has every
chance of being equally successful). You may, in the course of
investigation, find any amount of rationale - much of which presumes
you believe in the boogey-man. If you want examples of the mother of
all meanders, consult:
