Hi All, hope you are having a nice day
 Before I get to things... Jeff cover your keyboard with
a towel or something. Preferably waterproof.  ;>
 I recently acquired a few older books. Such as Allied's radio
data handbook (1954), New Sideband Book by Don Stoner W6TNS (1958),
and more importantly (at least for the subject line) the ARRL
antenna book (1974)
 (warned ya Jeff)  ;>>
 Anyways, there's the plans for what's called a Directional 
Discontinuity Ring Radiator. (DDRR)
 This would appear to be a rather nice antenna where one has
limitations on how large an antenna they can have. And in the
case of hidden antennas the 2M, 6M, 10M and maybe the 15M and 20M
versions properly painted might be a solution.
 The 2M version stands only 1in. high, is 6in. in diameter, and
is made from .25in tubing.
 The only problem is that the article doesn't mention anything
about how it compares to other antennas. It only says that it
will do 1.1:1 over the entire band when properly setup.
 Has anyone had any experience with this thing? The only references
given are for the Jan. '63 issue of Electronics and the Jul. '72
issue of QST.
