Nate.

Just because someone made an antenna years ago with a ham call sign on it doesn't mean that it's a proper or valid design that actually worked.

This could just have been an experiment or a misguided attempt at antenna construction, or it could have been made by a child as a project at a scout group.

The fact that it has a ham radio call sign actually on it is usually not a good sign, it's a bit like those hams who start off every post on the internet with how many years they have had their license for.

I wouldn't read too much into the design of this antenna.

Hope that helps !

The fact that it has a ham radio call sign actually on it is probably not a good sign, it's a bit like in grade 2 when your mum put your name on your lunchbox just in case you lost it.
