Does anyone remember a base antenna called a "SKYKICKER" made by TURNER ?
It had a 12 foot vertical radiator and three 6 foot radials angled downward at about 45 degrees.
The radials wher electrically conected to the vertical radiator which was fed in a rather unusual way, I think by what resembled a gamma rod (but wasn't a gamma rod) , this rod about 3 feet in length, ran parralell to the vertical radiator near the bottom, and was connected by an adjustable shorting bar . |

I remember it. Have any of you ever saw the Turner antenna that works kind of like a superscanner. It looks like two three element beams running thru each other in a x pattern if that makes any sence with two oval deals in the center. My tech that just retired had one and it was the wildest looking antenna I ever saw. He said it worked real well |
