They (we called them the "Type W") were the mainstay of the FCC's HFDF system from the 1970s to several years after I retired in the mid-1990s. Their function was directivity, not gain. We took the military's design and one of our engineers improved on it, and we usually outperformed theirs on tests. AFAIK all of the FCC's and the military's are now gone, replaced by more sophisticated DF antennas. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
