[Boatanchors] Antenna Question

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has built the antenna from the November 1995 
edition of QST, written by Floyd Koontz, WA2WVL? Can't find his E-Mail 
address.

It requires winding a 50 to 450 ohm transformer using an FT-240-61 core. I 
have a couple of cores the same size, but do not know if they are the same 
type. Does anyone know the color of the FT-240-61 or how I could identify 
the core? The cores I have I bought years ago for some other antenna project 
and do not rember the type. They are red on the inside, outside and top with 
the bottom a dark grey.

This project can be down loaded from the ARRL TIS web page at

Click on Brodaband transmitting wire antennas for 160 thru 10 meters.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Best,
DW Holtman
