Hi,
Does anyone remember a weird compact antenna that was featured in a 60's (or
early 70's) edition of "73" magazine. Had 2 etched PCBs (like spaced plates)
mounted inside a plastic bucket, and fed with coax?
Does anyone know more details of this?

Wouldn't be a patch antenna by any chance?

Sounds like a dummy load, although I did work a friend 3 miles away with a 6
inch wire end loaded with a soda can on 80 m once ...

Empty or full?

Empty.

Interesting concept though.

Don't ask me about the time I stuck my microphone in the hose of a vacuum
cleaner and keyed up ... same friend, different experiment. Sort of an
expansion of the game "name this sound".
