Hi,
Does anyone remember a weird compact antenna that was featured in a 60's (or
early 70's) edition of "73" magazine. Had 2 etched PCBs (like spaced plates)
mounted inside a plastic bucket, and fed with coax?
Does anyone know more details of this?

You may wish to try posting this same question 'separately'

I seem to recall that Hammond Organ put their reverb unit's springs in oil, to
dampen sudden changes.

And wasn't Collins' mechanical IF filter a similar device as you all are
discussing?

Hi Bill,

Only in the abstract, yes. Same physics, only more precision and at a
higher frequency (and much harder to make go BOING) and to a different
purpose (steep selectivity skirts for better fidelity).

at a higher frequency

Roger, Richard, much higher. Hi Like 455 kHz. (Or was it kc back then?)

Hi Bill,

455000 cps ;-)

Used in the Collins R-390 and URC-32 (course material for the Navy's
ETA school, 6 week N branch section A4).

Wouldn't be a patch antenna by any chance?
