I was cruising around the HF bands last night look to see if I could
snag the BBC in my area. I stumbled across a SSB HF broadcast of
Alaskan seas conditions. This caused me to do a search on Google for HF
marine stations. After drilling into various sites, I hit:

I was surprised to see the front panel of an old BC-221 (SCR-211)
staring back at me. It is good to see that venerable old frequency
meter still considered "cool" enough to be part of a commercial web
site.

Nice picture. Sort of reminds me of the WWII surplus receiver sitting on my
workbench waiting for me. Needs a new electrolytic and burnt out resistor.

On a different note, I noticed in the picture next to the 221, the 4 dipoles
90 degrees apart. I am experimenting with 800 mhz antennas and can only
erect one in my attic. Don't want to mess with rotors. I wonder if you (or
anyone) can advise how the 4 antennas are joined, I assume to one downlead
(phasing ?, etc.).
