Re: [TenTec] OT: New Bleeding-Edge Antenna Technology

[Steve Berg <wa9jml@frontier.com>]

I am living and operating from the town of DeKalb, Illinois.  We are the 
proud home of the Glidden S-Barb wire design.  The Glidden homestead, 
and the Ellwood House, are notable local landmarks. Isaac Ellwood bought 
half of Joseph Glidden's patent.  Joe made his first prototype using his 
wife's coffee grinder.  Jacob Haish was a local competitor, and from 
about the mid 1870s through the mid 1930s, DeKalb was the bar wire 
capital of the world.  Some of the original factories are still extant.
Despite all this history, I have never tried barbed wire for an antenna.

73,

Steve WA9JML
