[TenTec] Looking for Model 3402 or 3403 Broadband Vee antennas (sold in the past by Ten-Tec)

[Jerry Volpe]

I am working up low band antennas for our local Field Day and have 
settled on several of these broadband VEE antennas considering our site 
location at the shore San Franciso Bay with a wide flat expanse (no 
trees) facing North, East, and South. Problem is they are no longer sold 
by Ten Tec (any connection to Doug Smith leaving TT?).

If I can't locate a used one(s) for our Field Day activities I am 
willing to fabricate them. I know the transformer is a 50-800 ohm one 
(no specifics beyond that) and that the terminating resistors are shown 
as approximately 400 ohms (is this value varied according to soil 
conductivity, angle of wires, etc.?... and what wattage would I use for 
100 watt transmitters.) I have written TT regarding the transformer and 
terminators but doubt they are available as replacement parts.

Anyone have one for sale or loan?
