A friend of mine had this antenna in the mid 70's. Most bazaar base antenna I have ever seen! 4-radials flange out at the top of the antenna with loading coils. anybody ever seen this before?

I don't remember ever seeing one of these, but I have to say, it looks like a variation of a discone design. If that's so, it certainly will never do the advertised 9.7 db (db what?) of gain. I'd give it a 9 on the snake oil meter.... ;D

Ya well, 9.7DB of gain! I don't think so. My experience talking to him on it. maybe not much better than a good mobile mag mount stuck on a air conditioner.
