[TenTec] RE: Thoughts about the "Windom" or OCF antenna - Branko Popovic

[Ron McConnell]

"Marijan Miletic, S56A" <s56a at bit.si> says,
"There was an excellent body of antennas knowledge 
in YU culminating in late Branko Popovic, 
Hertz and Marconi award winner."

Ah, man, I hate to hear that he's gone.  :( ... :(
He was my PhD research advisor at Virginia Tech
in 1968 and 1969.  He was on an exchange plan
from Belgrade.  I was his first PhD candidate.
He worked from physical reality on antennas
and was an inspiration to me.  

He was a truly nice person.

I got to visit him one more time in the early
70s before he went back to Yugoslavia.
I've wondered/worried over the years 
how he was doing with all the troubles over there.
I had thought about trying to contact him again.
Too late.  :(

Do you have any more information on him?

73,

Ron McConnell
