[TowerTalk] KF4BWG

[David Gilbert]

I'm curious what anyone thinks is unique about this antenna.  Yes, it is 
a bit wider than wire and it appears to roll up easily for changing 
lengths, but fundamentally it's just an Inverted-V.  I think it's kind 
of ridiculous that he advertises it as having "more gain".  As far as 
loss in the stainless steel conductor is concerned, the 18 wires might 
offset the higher resistance depending upon how thick the wires actually 
are, but who knows.

If he's still active, his QRZ.com web page says he's on 3976 Khz every 
morning at 7:45 Tennessee time so WP3C might check there.

73, Dave  AB7E
