Offset Multiband Trapless Antenna (OMTA)

Anyone have any experience with this antenna? or knows some one that knows some one.

I think it would be a good combination with my dipole setup.

That link takes me to a single page correcting some length, not the entire antenna.

Odd its 12 pages long first page is just a correction front page

the only person i see talking about the setup is KJ4ADN

I can confirm the .pdf file linked to is 12 pages long.

No experience with the antenna though.

It works for me today. No comment on the antenna, but I don't see anything wrong with the details. Should work fine.

Vertical with resonant verticals using mutual coupling for multi band capabilities.

Reminds me of the Cushcraft R8 I had.

The R8 was an efficient dummy load, but presented good vswr on many bands. I gave that vertical away.
