    Hi, friends. Tnx to read this msg! I bought this antenna without any
    mounting instructions, for 11 meters (Citizen Band). I would like to
    adequate the antenna for 10 meters band and use on my Contest shack,
    PW2N station. No conectors, no feed point, but I believe that    the
    coax need to go on radiators 01 e 02. PY2AUC tell me that  radiators
    01 and 02 need to have junction on "X" and coax go into it... 
    Do you have any info about this antenna? Where I can read  technical
    informations (handbook, manufacturers, etc..)? Is this ant.     good
    for 10 meters, even now without propagation and 100 watts? What  you
    make to help me?? Many thanks!! PY2NY - Vitor (PW2N in contests)....

Believe it or not, the FCC refers to it that way in the regs.  Here is a
portion of Part 97:

Where was everybody?

Only worked a few JAs -- usually they're abundant here on the Left Coast.
Europe was only open for a few hours in the morning.  Practically no South
Americans.  Didn't even hear KH6.  Sigh.....
