I need help Cecil
 
(as usual, I'm in great need)

I have great problems in trying to post a photo/webpage to the group to
help identify and discover dimentions to the "Wideband Folded Loop" that
is somewhat described in the artical by RF-Systems Inc.

Cecil, if you would do a google search on this statement "WFL Folded
Loop Antenna", it will bring up the aformentioned artical and photograph.

Upon printing the artical out, you will note that the web site is posted
in the lower left hand of the page as is normal, however, if you enter
that site it will send you to some off the wall site having nothing to
do with antennas.

Now, grab your wireless laptop, hop on your hog and enjoy your hunt for
my benefit.

Butch, it's a folded-up length of folded-dipole sort-of with a
dummy-load/power-absorber in the center. RTMC for the disclaimers.
They're there, believe me.

To play with something like it more easily and inexpensively, attach a piece
of coax to your rig, put a dummy load at the far end, and connect a random
length of wire to the center conductor of the coax, at the dummy load. You
could connect a similar length of wire to the outer coax conductor . . . .
maybe a total of 7.5M of wire in your new terminated dipole ;o)

Thank you David, I was afraid that was what I was going to hear.
Everything, it seems, that looks as if it might be the one to go
chasing after, has them little resistors connecting one side to
another. Oh well, back to the drawing boards es think tank!

Buck, I have discovered, as you have, that all search engines were not
created equal. I'm going to try the new one "ask" (I think thats the
name) and see if it works equally as confused as the others.

=====================================
I need help too.

Could some kind person please describe in detail how the "WFL Folded
Loop Antenna" is folded? It is not at all clear from the description
and photograph. Originally I assume the loop is square.

A close-up of the photo shows four horizontal wires, though not
necessarily parallel, and three vertical elements I believe are
supports. The horizontal wires are probably connected to each other
through those vertical elements. It is possible that the antenna is
one long wire woven into that butterfly shape you see in the photo.
