I thought it sounded familiar.

I have not kept in touch the last decade but Bill was a mentor to me.
He did a lot of antenna experimenting, especially on 432 mhz. He is
listed in QRZ.Com, you might send him a snail mail.

As I recall, the article was written during the building of the
antenna. Testing after the article was published did not support the
calculations. Unfortunately you cannot "un publish" a hard copy!

Most of us were still using slide rules & calculators to crunch number
then!
