Gee, after 50 years, somebody finally got around to doing it.

Some day when I have time it would be interesting to model 
an array using slantwire feeds. With the tools we have now, 
it might be possible for some of the simpler patterns with
shallow minima.

I do love them when I find one of the old daytime slants 
built ca. 1950. Those towers are guaranteed to take IBOC 
without system mods. Western Electric had a system that 
was simply elegant but Gen. Sarnoff couldn't make money 
unless he sold the FCC and the industry on a "better" idea.
