JC,

Thanks for posting this.

That first link doesn't work, it comes up article not found. The W7IUV link is down also.

The Dallas Lankford files have been removed (by request) and that Yahoo link is not valid any longer, but there are complete sets of his papers floating around on the Internet still.

Just wanted to mention that.

Hi guys

This is a collection of paper I was able to put together, please it is a 
working in progress and new entries are welcome. My  eye is not doing well and 
it is hard for me to type, so this is a copy and paste.


1919

March 5, 1919, Roy A. Weagant, Chief Engineer of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. 
of America, delivered a paper describing in detail his apparatus for the elimination 
of the great bug-bear of transoceanic wireless communication --static interference.

1938

Harold Beverage invented wide band receiver antenna, loaded loop. The present 
invention relates to short wave antennas and, more particularly, to antennas 
for receiving horizontally polarized waves over a wide band of frequencies. An 
object of the present invention is to enable the reception of horizontally 
polarized signals over a wide band of frequencies such-as is at present used in 
television.

1940.

Nearly all the newly re-invented compact receive antennas derive from the terminated 
loop, the earliest reference was in an appallingly mimeographed prewar training manual 
of W3EEE Dad‘s

JF1DMQ wrote an earlier article about the Flag antenna in November 1995 in a 
Japanese magazine. His was only 3.3 feet by 16.4 feet long (1 by 5 m). K6SE's 
160m optimized versions are 14 by 29 feet (4.3 by 8.8m).

The Pennant was originated by EA3VYand optimized for 160 meters by K6SE, who 
first wrote about them on the Top Band Reflector in 1998
