The author of this article "The two Dodge antenna" is a friend of mine and a
member of the Radio Club here at NIST. He is Jeffrey Horlick KZ3F. It helps
if you have TWO like cars as he does. The antenna was a dipole not a beam
even though the direction could be changed by "rotating the cars" but it
took a while to do it. 72/73 Jim K4CGY qrp-l #72 Trustee of K3AA -- NIST
