Its unusual to see this message.

In the past KLM and Hygain antenna files have been available on the web.
The sleeve balun has been described in a number of publications, i think not
longer than 2-3 months ago
an extensive article in a english magazine was published.
Perhaps Natan can share with us who copied his antenna?
My antenna design may be copied anytime, and its an original..

Can anyone tell me which parts of F12 is copyrighted?

Johan
