>From the descriptions I have read, the ISOTRON antenna is very similar
to the antennas that Stan Byquist, W0-something, built in the 1960's up
in North Dakota.  Can't remember the 'name' he gave his design, but, to
me, it also looked like a small bedspring!
Somewhere in my 'files' I have a copy of the original design data for
Stan's antenna. ... just don't ask me to find it quickly!
