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.
