Unfortunately, Tom appears to be the only person at the factory with an
intimate technical understanding of the antennas. Like most one-man shows
he's wildly busy. I had some luck a couple of years ago reaching him
~10:30 AM Pacific time.

Natan, W6XR/2, of Force 12 East is pretty good at getting information for
people, and knows a lot in his own right after several years serving as
customer service liaison. Suggest you try him --- force12e@lightlink.com
