Hello to all,

I have looked with interest at the new Ten-Tec Vee Beam Terminated
antenna. Is there a guru on the list who has the knowlege to share on
how to duplicate this antenna?

It is a vee beam with each leg terminated to ground with a resistor,
and there is a balun of sorts at the input.

I remember an antenna similar to this years ago, and I think ten-tec
will have a winner with this if folks can get away from the supposed
"horror" of a terminated antenna.

Just don't bring it up on the .antenna group - they'll boil you in
oil.

FWIW, the ad says it works 80-10M, w/o a tuner, so I wonder if there
isn't a resistor at the feed point as well.
