[VHFcontesting] Where were the K1FO designs published?

[K3SK at buckwalter.co]

That’s it Chuck.   Thank you.   I had that antenna book at one point and don’t have a clue where it went.

I'm pretty sure that the three-band K1FO designs are in at least one of the
Antenna Handbooks I have, the oldest of which is probably 30 years old and
the newest maybe 10 years old.  I can check later if nobody else responds
before I can get to it.

73.
