This can be nothing but an end-fire antenna consisting of two elements. It is similar to the K9AY, EWE, Flag, and Pennant antennas, which are really nothing but the equivalent of two short verticals phased with end-fire phasing. The horizontal spatial conductor length serves as a phasing and transmission line connecting the vertical conductor lengths that serve as antennas. 73 Tom Tom Brian Collins gives another description on how a terminated loop antenna works; one could consider the K9AY, EWE, Flag, and Pennant are variations of what Brian describes in his 1974 paper. homepage.ntlworld.com/brian.collins/Bibliography/Paper-06.pdf 73 Andrew G8LUG _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
