[CW] Limited space antenna

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr. via CW]

Brian,

No radials?  The manual says "don't worry about radials, just hook the coax
up."

If I believe that, would you sell me the Brooklyn Bridge and the
Westminster Clock Tower at a two for one price?

Here's Michael's patent for the tuning system which no one else could ever
figure out.:

The antenna itself is like a Marconi Hammock but instead of the wires being
parallel, they are serpentine, also called a "meander line", making mutiple
repeated S type motion left, down one foot, right, down a foot, left,
down,a foot right, down a foot.  It's a loop if you connect the ends.

Similar ideas are being used as the Folded Counter Poise (FCP).
