Do you have any idea what the performance specs are for this antenna?

No idea at all. A friend knows I'm interested in antennas, and sent me
the link simply as something interesting. Since things are WAY too
quiet here today, I thought I'd post it. ;-)

I searched Google for [borg antenna design nasa] and found lots of
other pictures, including one that has 4 uneven Y elements arranged in
a rotationally symmetrical pattern. It appears to be a monopole
equivalnet (perhaps with circular polarization endward).

Were you around this group during the Great Fractal Antenna Debates a
couple years ago, John? You've undoubtedly noted references to them in
some of the postings in the recent interminable threads.

Sorry to say, I missed that.
