[BC] New antenna for AM broadcasting

[Lotus Engineering]

	Tim's antenna experiment was not at all like the DDRR. It was a single conductor formed in a single loop and if I recall at least a half and maybe more wavelengths.
	 I was friends with Dr. John Boyer, the DDRR patent holder, before he passed when he was a semi permanent visiting lecturer at the U of AZ.  He was always pushing me to try the DDRR on AM broadcast, but he indicated it was a high angle radiator, and I felt it wasn't suitable for local broadcasting.  Really neat guy.  When the Univ. would not allow him a ham antenna at his university housing, he put up a "Flagpole" and told them that he was a Combat Vet of WW2 and no-one was going to deny him his flag pole.  They backed down and he stayed active in Army Mars.
