DO NOT ASK ABOUT THIS ONE ON THE ANTENNAS LIST !!!!!!

I have one.  It does what I want it to do, that is to cover all
ham and MARS freqs on one feedline with acceptable SWR.

It is not a GREAT antenna, and the dB purists will poo-poo 
all about it.  To them, if it isn't a ladder-line fed dipole, it
sucks.  But it does work, and I will continue using it till I
leave MARS, and have room for a separate dipole for each
band.
