[TenTec] OT: New Bleeding-Edge Antenna Technology

[Clayton Brantley]

Wade, I am not up-to-speed on this new antenna theory but I do remember a friend making a broadband
75 meter inverted v with hog wire.  The best I remember, it was about 1 foot wide and supported with a
60 to 70 foot power pole on his back lot.  It did work fairly well but never heard too much more.  Might
ask Bill the next time you hear him (WA4YPO) or his son John (N4QEA) on one of the nets.  John might
not remember too much since he was fairly young at the time.

I also remember my uncle telling folks he was "running 5 watts to the screen door".  Those old tube transmitters
would almost tune anything.  I miss those days, sigh.  Now then, you almost need a tuner with a dummy load!

I see nothing wrong with loading up a barbed wire fence, just be sure to turn off the charger!  I have thought of 
loading up the railroad trace behind our house to work the new LF bands.

 My contacts on this type
 antenna would be direct and to the point. Probably with a
 few Barbs thrown in at times. But, you never know? This new
 design is certainly on the cutting edge of technology. The
 antenna itself would most likely kill the old cows dreams of
 jumping over the moon. This would leave the cat and the
 fiddle to diddle diddle quite a bit more. This new antenna
 design is most certainly Not for the birds! Having seen and
 heard of the Horse Fence Antenna, I would just bet that we
 will hear someone bragging about just how good their Cow
 Fence Antenna works very soon. Could this antenna be the
 reason that so many Dragons need
 Re-Balling??                                                               
          Best 73 to All

 No, not a
 pentode, 5Y3GT is really a dual diode similar to the
 mentioned 5U4GB mentioned in
 
 a previous email.  HI

  I worked
 
  "5Y3GT" back in the early 60's. 
 Don't
 
  know what he was running, but signal was rather
 raspy.
