Yes Jim, I will give you that Varney promoted his antenna on the old harmonic bands; but my reference was the later commercialization that implies it does "All" bands. Indeed, you make a good point, in the 1950's rigs could easily handle 5:1 SWR, in fact, few measured their SWR. Most tuned up to a lamp on a loop, or a field Strength indicator. -Stuart K5KVH
