[Roy Dancy]

Good afternoon y'all.

I hope you are not confuswing this antenna that the girls in Phil Sptoony's
All Gitl Orcastra devoleped back in the Thirtys.  Some of the girls were
hams so they made an antenna that would tune from 80 thru the old 5 meter
band.

It was the first true broad band antenna.
