Hi, guys. I am Osvaldo from Banfield, Buenos Aires,
Argentina. I also am ham radio, my call is LW1DSE.
I´ll make a 144 MHz antenna, that here is known
as "antena de esqueleto" (Skeleton antenna????)
and is derived from the slot one. Does anybody know
the original english name of it?
It appears to
be the electric opposite from a 1/2 lambda antenna
(half wave), and it is used in aircrafts(???)
Thanks all.

Hi Osvaldo
The 'antenna' is actually used just
as a driven element for 2 yagis, one above the other.
The name given by the inventor was 'skeleton slot'
and you are right: it is the electromagnetic inverse
of a metal sheet dipole.
If you do a search under
skeleton slot you should find it.
Antennas used
to be made and sold by J-Beam in the UK, but I think
they have discontinued the design some years ago.
However, several amateur publications give dimensions
for different bands.

Thanks, Nubbage. Yes, I knew it in an old spanish
tv antenna handbook (written about 1951), a friend
gives me 20 years ago. But I want to do one for
the 2m Amateur band, beause I like uncommon antennas!!!.
And also I wanted to look for any data from Google,
but I did´t know the original name. I tryed with
a lot of synonimous, but unfortunately the results
was few.
Thanks again!!!!
