The B&W Antenna is a design known as the Tilted Terminated Folded Dipole, or TTFD. It does use a resistor in the side of the folded dipole which is normally unbroken. This resistor is placed directly across from the feed point. If you want to learn more about this design, you can find information at http://www.cebik.com.
