I have one you are welcome to borrow and test if you'd like.

A guy makes these and sells them on eBay for $20:

> Hi Guys,
>  Recently I uncovered plans for a dipole antenna made of two " Slinky "
> toys. It looks perfect for my QTH, but I have misgivings
> because I have not heard any thing about this antenna in any contemporary
> times. ( The article is ca 1972 aprox ). Does anybody know
> if this design fellinto disuse because of any problems that emerged since?
> If not, I could put one up this week.
