What's the name of this antenna and where can you find out more about it?

Hi Mike K5XU: 

I worked VK4KW. I run a Zero Five 43 foot 160/10M ground mounted vertical
with 25 radials, 19 of them are 25 feet long and 6 are 66 feet long. 
It has been an absolute flame thrower from 40/10M and for 75/80, I'd say the
performance has been as good as a G5RV/Windom at 45 feet. 
This is with out the 66 foot radials, which I hoping to test out this
winter. As for 160, its more or less a listener but Tom at Zero Five now has
an 80/40M mod for 149USD which optimizes this antenna for those bands. He
also assures me that this new coil will also make this antenna a better 160
performer providing you use the appropriate radials and lengths. Considering
my target trees for my long wire are gonna be gone in a few weeks, I'm
thinking of buying this od my self. 
Hope to work ya soon and best 73:
