Re: [IRCA] Interesting presentation on the Bev-Flex 4 antenna
Wasn't the idea of using coaxial cable as reversible Beverage antenna elements presented in detail in Vic Misek's "Beverage Antenna Handbook"? I had a copy in the late 1970s/early 1980s and seem to recall this configuration. It's definitely not a new idea with Pixel/InLogis. 73, Guy Atkins Puyallup, WA > > > > -Original Message- From: Nick Hall-Patch > Sent: Friday, April 14, 2017 11:29 AM > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America > Subject: Re: [IRCA] Interesting presentation on the Bev-Flex 4 antenna > > In case you don't have the time to watch a presentationthe > antenna basics are described here: > > https://jkantennas.com/rx-antenna.html > > best wishes, > > Nick > > > > At 13:27 14-04-17, Bill Whitacre wrote: > >> A unique coax-based antenna system.
