Yep,
The Hornet line from Oklahoma was nought by Swan and they changed the
numbers to TB-2 TB-3, TB-4H based on the number of elements. A fairly good
antenna line but with one fault...they used 8 foot spacings for the TB-2 had
an 8 foot boom, the TB-3 used a 16 foot boom, amd the TB-4/TB-4H used a 24
foot boom. They dropped the 500 and 750 watt versions (TB-500/TB-750 which
were 3 el versions). I had the TB-4H which I purchased for $120 in 1972.
Not as good as the TA-36 I had before on 10 and 15 but equal to the Mosley
on 20. Stacked nicely with the Mosley S-402 2 el 40
