Sorry, I meant to send this as a private email. It's also US
specific, if that's not already painfully obvious.
To make this antenna relevant, well, antennas have been well
understood by people (not me!) for many many years. I've got an ARRL
Antenna handbook from the 1950s, and it's not really that different
from the one I got from the 1990s.
The writing is different, the pictures of cars with antennas mounted
are very different (and entertaining), but the general concepts
haven't changed much at all.
In the old book, VHF and UHF are sort of an afterthought, which I
guess makes sense. But the actual antenna concepts are pretty much
the same, even though the books are like 40 years apart.
(And to make it copyright related, well, my 1950's ARRL antenna book
could have entered the public domain. It depends on if it's copyright
was renewed or not.)
