Hi Derek,

The TB-3 Was Marketed for many years by Swan , think they were made by
Wilson but not sure of that. .. Don't recall the spacing but it should
be about .1 wave length on 20 Meters that would be about 6 feet.
A quick net search did not reveal a source for the manual , but
someone must have one.

Derek;

That is a SWAN or HORNET tri-bander. (Swan bought Hornet) Neither in
biz any longer. Check www.w7fg.com for a manual.

I owned a TB-4 in the former Panama Canal Zone & it worked well for
years.

Jim, K4SQR is right. I too had a TB4H made by Swan and called the
Swan/Hornet beam. They used a simple 8 foot spacing so the TB2 was 8 feet
(driven/reflector), the TB3 was 16 feet and the TB4 was 24 feet.
