Hi Glenn,

Meander is a pseudonym for Hocus-Pocus. The designer did what it took
to achieve the desired result. Being unable to describe it
coherently, the fall back position is to call it a Meander Line. In
this regard, construction details should be followed without question
or substitution to obtain the same results, maybe.

Meander typically suggests the largest antenna in the smallest box
without degrading its results over a simpler design (which has every
chance of being equally successful). You may, in the course of
investigation, find any amount of rationale - much of which presumes
you believe in the boogey-man. If you want examples of the mother of
all meanders, consult:

Glenn Miller, I think his square moniker was Alton Gllenn Miller was
born 100 years ago today. He lucked out with a weekly program on radio
for his band. It was "The Chesterfield Supper Club" advertising
cigarettes. His mother was a member in good standing of The Women`s
Christian Temberance Union and an arch enemy of tobacco as well. When
mom met with the other ladies, they chided her about Glenn`s new
sponsor. Mom said that of course nobody should smoke, but if they were
adicted, they should be sure their cigarettes were Chesterfield
cigarettes.

I lived in Portugal for a number of years and traveled several times
across southern Spain to go and return between Lisbon and Seville. I
gained a new respect for the word "meander" after crossing and
recrossing the Rio Meander countless times.

Thanks for the help. I shall attempt to follow the directions
slavishly. And then ignore them and do what seems to work!
