hello,
I just wondered if anyone knows if these are still around or if anyone knows what i'm talking about.  Back in college, I don't know if I traded something for this or a ham just made it or had it sitting around doing nothing, but I got a, hm it was like a tv antenna but the arms were shorter and it had a thick wire loop connected to each wingnut deal, and all i remember is it worked great and i would just lay it across the table when we weren't using it and support it on either side chair, but some jerk roommate broke the balon thing off of one side so i had to quit using it, 
I loved that antenna, does anyone make those ?
