    Eric KJ7NC asked about the Hornet TB 1000 4 and Hornet Mfg.
   =20
    Hornet was out of Oklahoma and in late 60's they sold out to Swan =
Electronics.  Swan renamed the beam TB-4H.  Swan is out of business too =
altho Grace Brock at Brock Publications in San Diego has manuals.
   =20
    As far as getting replacement parts ...good luck.  You will probably =
have to use replacements.
   =20
    The TB-4H/TB1000-4 is a 4 el tri-bander on a 24' boom with equal =
spacing of 8 feet between elements in a Ref/Driven/Dir/Dir scheme.  =
Works better than the TA-36 except on 10 and is on a par with TH6 except =
on 15 where the Th6 is better.
   =20
    Dave K4JRB (used a TB-4H from 1971 to 1976).
