Thank you. I looked that over last night. There really doesn't seem to be a
great deal of information on it. That is why I asked on this list. The folks
that hang out here tend to be either curious(me) or Gurus of the wire and
aluminum arts. I figured if it had been tossed around on here then it would
either be complimented or condemned as was the last postings I saw in
reference to the "EH antenna" which to look at there web page it is the
greatest thing since RF was discovered ....
Never had one so I can't form an opinion, but the EH didn't sound to
promising from the comments here.
Anyway my query was in reference to the Petlowany. My first encounter with
the Petlowany was in an article in World Radio that a friend brought me to
read and I think World Radio did a follow-up sometime later with revisions
in design showing it used as a single element not as the original "dipole"
configuration. These articles and the webpage mentioned above are about the
only references that I have personally encountered.
Are there other references or comments about this design?
