[Milsurplus] [MRCA] PRC-41 Antenna Identification

[Michael Hanz]

A rare and highly prized accessory, to be sure.  The spiral windings 
emanating from the concatenated adapter reduce noise from the feedline, 
and enhances the user experience in 13 ways, none of which I can recall 
at the moment.  The shape of the horizontal loop provides an NVIS 
radiation pattern for better ground wave propagation, and the short 
bends in the end reduces wind turbulence and improves the cost per seat 
mile figure, like winglets on aircraft.
