Default Australian version of "Taylor Space Miser 80m loop" (James Taylor W2OZH)

Folks,

Have you heard about the "Taylor Space Miser 80m Loop"? It is a simple,
elegant, and space-miserly 80m antenna that should be looked at by any
Amateur Radio operator with a space or antenna visibility problem.

It is named after James Taylor W2OZH, and was published by him in ~1970.

It was re-published in Australian Electronics Monthly magazine in 1987 by
Roger Harrison, a well-known Australian experimenter.

The Taylor Space Miser 80m Loop has had a revival in Canberra in the last
few months due to Tony Bennett VK1TB who has built the design and
experimented to get the design inside the pitched roof space of his
town-house.

I have published the details of the 1987 article, including images of the
article and Tony Bennet's redesign criteria, on my web site.

Best wishes,
Peter
