Was an outfit here in the U.S actually "Marketed" such!
With claims that would give less than 3:1 SWR, on any frequency!
Wondered how it could do that and still perform- asked buddy (engineer)
and this was the "Black Box" he came up with! (50 ohm, 200 watt, non
inductive resistor! No majic involved, just a Dummy Load, in parallel
with a couple pieces of wire! Think ARRL, finally exposed it!
Yes it will radiate, but at WHAT effeciency?? Jim NN7K


Makes me wonder if you have been paying attention?; indeed, it has been
the arrl which has been "exposed!" ROFLOL!

'Corse, this WAS from memory, of this antenna-- From some 25 YEARS ago!
When it was first introduced! Hindsight is always better than Foresight!
