RE: Vintage Center Loaded Antennas

The ones I know of off hand are Controlaire, Orbit, Minx and Airtrol.

EDIT:

RE: RCM Issue Publication Dates

Mike, the last time I saw the first issue at Toledo, the asking price was $75.
I have all of the RCM 1960's issues here someplace, but I have hid them from myself.

RE: Vintage Center Loaded Antennas

RE: Early RC?

Start a Vintage meet in CA. There is one up in Oregon IIRC. CA is a long state with a lot of people. You could have at least three fly ins in its length.

RE: Unidentified Yellow Bipe!

It looks like a Lazy Ace. However, 62" is the smallest Lazy ACE. This could be one that has been reduced. See this site:

RE: Four channel tone filter radio
