Wade, I am not up-to-speed on this new antenna theory but I do remember a
friend making a broadband
75 meter inverted v with hog wire. The best I remember, it was about 1 foot
wide and supported with a
60 to 70 foot power pole on his back lot. It did work fairly well but never
heard too much more. Might
ask Bill the next time you hear him (WA4YPO) or his son John (N4QEA) on one of
the nets. John might
not remember too much since he was fairly young at the time.
I also remember my uncle telling folks he was "running 5 watts to the screen
door". Those old tube transmitters
would almost tune anything. I miss those days, sigh. Now then, you almost
need a tuner with a dummy load!
I see nothing wrong with loading up a barbed wire fence, just be sure to turn
off the charger! I have thought of
loading up the railroad trace behind our house to work the new LF bands.

My contacts on this type
antenna would be direct and to the point. Probably with a
few Barbs thrown in at times. But, you never know? This new
design is certainly on the cutting edge of technology. The
antenna itself would most likely kill the old cows dreams of
jumping over the moon. This would leave the cat and the
fiddle to diddle diddle quite a bit more. This new antenna
design is most certainly Not for the birds! Having seen and
heard of the Horse Fence Antenna, I would just bet that we
will hear someone bragging about just how good their Cow
Fence Antenna works very soon. Could this antenna be the
reason that so many Dragons need
Re-Balling??

No, not a
pentode, 5Y3GT is really a dual diode similar to the
mentioned 5U4GB mentioned in

Clayton, you say you
talked to a Pentode?

I worked
"5Y3GT" back in the early 60's.
Don't
know what he was running, but signal was rather
raspy.
