: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.

I had no idea they were so unique!  I had crates of them, enough to fill
three roll-off bins, which I did, so no doubt their value has increased
exponentially.  Military terminology being what it is, I recall it was
called the "abort mission" antenna.  Abort what and how, I have no idea, you
know how those special operations things done in the field are...
