I've posted a new article "New Termination Control
Method for Flag, Pennant, and similar Antennas" on-
line. It describes a simple "in the shack" method
of adjusting the termination resistance value of
these antennas without the use of Vactrols or motor-
driven potentiometers at the antenna site.
Go to "http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/flag/tg1.pdf"; for the
PDF version. For a zipped Microsoft Word DOC file and
drawings, go to "http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/flag/tg1.zip";.
If you have trouble accessing these directly, hit the
links on "http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/index.html";.
Remember to type or paste these links exactly:
don't change lower case letters to cap's.
