Dear Tehrasha Darkon and Group:

Yes! An additional curtain antenna is seen off to the right of the picture,
which somewhat confuses. Additionally, the butterfly is not easy to see on
the nearest antenna. Thank you for finding the picture.

Now, if the actual antenna people who have been on this group have not been
driven off of the group by the theological ramblings about whether angels
exist and, if so, how many could fit on the head of a pin, please enlighten
this old antenna person who had thought he had seen every practical antenna
(including a good many that were not practical - see US patent 1,554,231).
What is the function of the groups of seven + butterfly?

Dear Antenna Group: Here is an antenna question. December 24, 2007

On the cover of the Winter 2007 QCWA Journal one may see three pictures
of antennas used by Collins Radio. Two of the pictures feature a
circular array of six curtain antennas. In other words, the array is
expected to effect six beams - one every 60 degrees.

Is it something like this?
