However, returning to my own recent shipboard experience and antennas
there, I will later today post a link to a dozen or so pictures. It
will include shots of Guss' Loops. I dare say several of these
pictures will provoke much head scratching (but only to those few
actually interested in antennas here in this forum).

I used to have the nomenclatures of all those antennas memorized, but,
alas,
having gotten away from EMI inspections in 2003 and having fully retired
last year, all I can call to mind is the AS-2815/SSR-1 (your "Drooped
Cross
Horizontal")

You zeroed in on some cryppie antennas. I rocognize the biconical dipole,
an HFDF antenna and a Rubicon antenna. They're often found together on an
Aegis cruiser. (Makes me want to put on my coveralls and get back out
there -- or maybe not.)

Hi "Sal"

I'd like to know more about the Drooped Cross
Horizontal"). Do you know the frequency it is designed for?

Hi Jerry,

I built a model of it, and from by guess and by golly, I presumed it
would be somewhere in the middle of the VHF/UHF Shipboard Band
(225-400 MHz) and made it resonant at 300 MHz (arbitrary selection,
mind you).

Let me know if you want a copy of that file.
