Hi,

Last night I scanned the 1966 NEL "Low-Frequency Top-Loaded Antennas"
report provided to us by Boynton Hagaman at the last meeting. This
resulted in a series of Acrobat files.  They total 4.8 megs in size but
each is small enough to put on a 1.4 meg floppy disk.  

I cleaned up some of the type mainly in the math formulas, cropped out
the previous copying artifacts and margin notes from previous copying
generations.  All in all the scanning and editing turned out to not be
all that bad to do.

I also have an IRE article on short antennas which covers T's and L's 
along with top loaded monopoles.

I would like for someone to work through a sample problem of a 60 foot
tower at 136 kHz and 6 top hat wires from the NEL report and compare to 
a T or L.  We could, with his permission, build it at Ted's afterwards 
and see how well this data scales and how well it really does.  

Any volunteers?
