[TowerTalk] B&W Folded Dipole

[Bill Aycock]

I have had NO experience with this antenna, but it has been the subject of
lots of discussion on rec.radio.amateur.antennas. The consensus is that it
should be described as "a dipole in parallel with a dummy load", with LOUD
adherants both for it and against it.

I know thats not much help, except for another place to look, but remote
stations have special needs.
