Re: 405-Line VHF Aerials in 2013
Re post no. 24
An interesting question! There was a maker/brand? 'Dublex' in the late 40s - 50s who made such an aerial. A moderate pig to take apart - unlike the Antiference Antex X. If I remember correctly the elements were internally connected in a different way to the Antex. With twice the amount of metal they must have been more expensive than the Antex, but I bet the performance was similar - possibly a difference in the impedance??
Perhaps somebody with a good back collection of Wireless World adverts of that era could establish who came first in the X design league?
