Let me start by saying that since discovering the slim jim antenna design
I have really come to respect these antennas. The design uses a matching
system like a j-pole antenna. This is called the j integrated match (jim)
the antenna itself is very slim hence the name Slim Jim. Designs for these
antennas date back to the early 1930's the best I can tell. I have found
them in QST magazine as far back as the 1940's.

** Now thats a new one on me. Is "Slim Jim" a generic slang term for the
** appearance of the antenna or a manufacture name?
