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

 1995 

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).

1995

QST January, 1996, p. 32) both by WA2WVL.

1996

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