Default Winegard CA-8098

In an earlier post
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...0469fb25ccbc17
I asked if anyone could identify this antenna
http://home.comcast.net/~ross_anders...ionAntenna.htm .
Mike, NZ4K, suggested I look at this site
http://www.starkelectronic.com/wing4.htm .
A close match is the Winegard CA-8098.
This is a fascinating antenna (the VHF part), consisting of two booms
coming together in a V, with the elements attached to the boom off
center, and the elements on the upper boom placed asymmetrically with
respect to the elements on the lower boom.
Now my question is: Has anyone seen this type of antenna written up in
any journal, conference proceedings, book, patent, web page, or message
board; or is anyone willing to share their thoughts or unpublished work
on this type of antenna?
Thanks, Ross W1HBQ
