Many of us miss Bill, W9INN, and have had years of enjoyment from his FB
antennas. When I purchased my antenna from Bill in 1977 or 1978 he
provided excellent documentation that I have lost.

Did anyone take the time to scan Bill's documents or have they been
saved in a library somewhere?

I would like to get the specifications on his 40/80 reactor (his term
for a trap) so mine can be rebuilt.

What started out life as a 40/80 dipole from W9INN was modified by me to
add extra sets of wires for 10 MHz and 18 MHz and I got lucky the whole
mess works FB on 24 MHz as well as 50 MHz. The antenna has been up for
25++ years and still works great.

W9INN you are missed!

Can you provide any diagrams, plans, measurements, etc....?

Thanks!

That is why I hope someone has the documentation.

I have looked through my stuff and cannot find Bill writings.

Bill's antennas were mostly coax fed with NO baluns. He used a center
insulator (his design) and had some unique trap like coils of wire that
he called reactors.

I would like to get the specifications on his 40/80 resonactor (his term
for a trap) so mine can be rebuilt.
