Default Myths and Legends of Antennae

The total number of elements and the boom length effect both the gain and
"flatness" of the SWR over the frequency range.


I can sort of see why the military would like it. Given their resources, it
could be used to rapidly find direction and frequency for many transmissions,
one after another, with no immediate need to co-ordinate a triangulation
effort. Though I suspect that locating sources isn't their primary reason for
using one.
