Presently using a sloper dipole, balun/coax fed, and an omni discone antenna at home location.
Designed and built parabolic antennas as large as 15 feet in diameter for satellite communications using reflector dipole using low loss cable feed.
Now in use at home location are automatic antenna tuners covering the range of 10KHz to 30 MHz.
Experience at Westinghouse called him to repair underground antennas; have fabricated and installed a feed through system designed to withstand a nuclear blast.
Since 1945 with the US Army Signal Corps, controlled many rhombic antennas with 600 ohm feed lines which were later converted to log feed lines then into log periodic antennas now in use at USAISC.
