Before and after what?

The original design is 50 years old.
He infers that he has improved the design,

Would hams have an interest in a two element 20 M
antenna that have lower TOA than the norm, say 9 degrees instead of the
normal 14 degrees?


I think I can quickly put one together for the week end while putting the
present assembly aside.

Hey, I know Eric. See: http://www.cal-av.com/antennas.html

for the commercial version of his design.
