Was it in the April issue? A lot of "fools" fell for such articles in
73 Magazine, Hi.
One such antenna was to be buried under ground then the "polarity" of
the radiated
wave would be "inverted". ;-)

There are a few who experiment with "EH" antennas, where a coil is
placed in coffee cans,
spaced at different intervals for the band the antenna is to be used.

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?
