[TowerTalk] cage dipole

[Richards]

No... silly....    it is a LADDER antenna and should be
fed with LADDER LINE .....  ;-)

Or call it a "co-linear, parallel bridged element dualpole"... or some such
mumbo jumbo combination of neat sounding technical words you
construct in random order  - but make it a unique name no one has
ever used before  - and then sell them for huge money !!

Ge the patent on it first....     ;-)
