Contesters,

I have everything I need for a parasitic 40 meter 4-square but can't find 
design info.

I want to try this antenna as my marginal cost will be zero.  I have 4 33' 
verticals, an Ameritron RSC 8-V switch and plenty of radial wire and coax 
on hand.

Any info on design and tuning will be appreciated.  I believe the design 
has 3 "reflectors" that use the inductive reactance of the open feedline to 
make them "reflectors,"  right.  How long should the feedlines be?  I can 
tune with the MFJ 259B.

Any models out there to tell me what to expect?

Archive and google search turned up nothing.

73,

Ron KK9K
