Phil, there is no "magic" or anything new in antenna design in nearly a century.
That's simply a short, loaded radiator, either a doublet (if fed near the center) or a monopole. It will work nearly as well as the "Buddi Pole" that Elecraft (and others) sell, which means it will make a lot of contacts under the right conditions. Or you can create your own version by throwing up a low doublet and feeding it through the KAT3 or KAT3 tuners. What you are paying for in these antennas is convenience, not performance. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Townsend Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2010 4:50 PM Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Trans World Antenna How about the Trans World Traveler Antenna...
