[Milsurplus] WWII German NVIS Antennas

[Al Klase]

Thanks, Chuck,

K2WI on the MRCA list points out that this link:  
http://www.tactical-link.com/WWII_NVIS.htm says "The entire framework is 
fed at the right-rear corner, via the single-wire feedline that can be 
seen in this and the photos farther below on this page.

I was having a lot of trouble figuring out how it could be a loop.  I 
doubt it's a high-angle radiator.  We'll see.
