 Hi Ed,

The antenna has found a new home - our esteemed Professor, Tom AB3IC.

Tom,

I would be interested in both the antenna's (the Wilson Systems SY-33
also) I am on EMT duty all day Friday down in Ridge (6 AM - 6 PM) but
can be available Saturday or Sunday if it is still available...

Thanks....

	This is a shortened folded dipole antenna for a
	single band. Shortening the dipole raises the 
	input impedance and the vertical section is a
	9:1 transformer, magically making it 50 ohms
	at the balun. Somewhat narrow, but covers most 
	of the 40M and up freqs.
