[TowerTalk] DT2 160 to 2 meter beam from UK??

[thompson@mindspring.com]

Does anyone have any info on the DT2 antenna from the UK?  In the September
Rad-Com (RSGB) Magazine there is an ad for the antenna.  Quotes G3LDO from a
review in "Radio Today".   The ad says made by a company into military
antennas.   Its 2 elements each 6 meters long, 2 meter boom and weight is
8.5Kg.   3DB (dbi or dbd??) on 15, 6DB on 10 meters, bi-directional below
14Mhz, and cloverleaf on 6 and 2 meters.  In the UK its expensive at 399.95
pound sterling.

Wonder why no gain on 6 meters?   Pic does not show any traps or coils.

This could be a great antenna for IOTA or a back up for Dxpeditions.  Rated
at 1KW PEP on HF and 500W Pep on VHF.
