[ForSale-Swap] Old antenna question

[Tim Kass]

Hello Ray,
 
I remember Mini products HQ-1 mini beam, followed by the hybrid quad...similar, in fact my friend still has the parts to the mini beam I gave him some years ago...
 
Idea was simple...loading coils at the ends of the elements, with capacity hats (spikes), then another loading coil with more spikes and so on...I believe mine had a total of six loading coils and six sets of spikes on the DE and REF (3 on each end).  The boom was something like 6 or 7 feet I think..I never used the one I had, but Id guess it was increaibly narrow banded and deaf, along with limited to no F/B .. good luck.
 
73, Tim

Years ago.... back in the 70s in fact ... there was a company called 
Mini-Products Inc, which
had several beam and vertical antennas they sold... Model B-24 
beam... C-4 vertical ... etc.

This is a long shot, but I'd like to find some manuals or information on 
them to see if they can
be "recreated" homebrew....

>From what I can find on the internet, the company is one of those that 
... like so many of our old
favorites from yesteryear .... folded shop.
