Reread the ad. Glowing testimonial about this "miracle" antenna from K6INI, right?Originally Posted by KJ3N
Antenna ads from the 50s and 60s? Boy, some of you are really old farts.
I imagine that the CHA-250B is the modern equivalent of the Gotham.
Guess who owned Gotham Verticals?

The basic concept of the GV wasn't bad... an vertical with a loading coil. Of course, it would have helped if it was actually resonant, and if the buyer knew that he/she had to lay down a few radials. Oh, and that it was thin, cheap aluminum that was prone to breaking in high winds... and not so high winds... want to know how I know that?
No Jim, I guess you don't get it. But that's ok. Now GTFOML, kid...
