Hello Group , Sometime in late 2004 or early 2005 there was an issue of CQ , 
Popular Communications Magazine that had a great article on building the Cage 
Antenna. I have plans on several different designs but I would like to get the 
name and email address of the gent that wrote the article. He listed that 
information but I have misplaced that magazine. Again this was in late 04 and may 
be up to mid 2005 issues of CQ , Pop Com or another one of the radio 
magazines. This is not the large Elephant Cage antennas used by the Navy but an old 
design using several dipole elements spread out with cross members or even using 
 circular spreaders . Thanks , Randy N5WV
