[Antennas] ATAS-25

[Robert Lay (W9DMK)]

Dear Murray,

Forgive me for not having a clue as to what an ATAS-25 is!

Just give us a layman's description of it and perhaps we can make sense out 
of it. We presume that it's a vertical, otherwise you wouldn't have radials.

So, just what is the thing and what bands is it supposed to cover - I 
suppose it's a multi-band antenna with gobs of instructions on how to tune 
it up, which I'm sure you've already studied and followed carefully, but we 
probably need to know a little about that, too.

Shed a liitle light in the dark corners for us.
