Werner Wulf?

Whatever happened to WW?
He used to make some great antennas, there is next to nothing about him
on the Net either.
I assume he is a silent key now - but a little surprised at the lack of
any mention of him these days

I bought a 4 element 20 meters monobander from him about 20 years ago or so,
He delivered it from Melbourne to my place over 300 kilometrres away
one Sunday, he arrived at the door unannounced, he decided to take his wife
for a drive
He is? a very nice person to know
I met the people who took over his antenna business at a convention years
ago
but didn't keep any information on who or where they were

I always found him to be friendly and always willing to take the time to
have a chat. Was never in a hurry.
I took a rather long break from radio (1992-2005) and in that time he
seems to have vanished(?) I bought one of his V-Quads, which I certainly
couldn't fault... excellent low radiation angle even with a low mounting
height, without the bulk/flimsiness of a cubical quad. I ended up
modding it from 2 to 4 elements, was brilliant.

I have a feeling that might be Coman antennas??? I read an old radio mag
recently and his advertised antennas sounded a lot like Werner's designs.
f boy
I maybe wrong but I thought that Andy Coman (COM-AN-TENNAS) had bought
his business
Jeßus
I've seen an old ad of his, and the antennas sure sound like Werner's
designs, so yeah I think you're right.
maxpowervk
states that Werner Wulf had sold his business to Derek Tomlinson
VK3ZHT. I can't find a date on the magazine but I am guessing it was
published about1986. The new company was called Tomlinson
Communications and had a factory in Tullamarine.
I had heard that the company was later sold to Andy Coman but that is
only hear say.
The add for Tomlinson Communications lists most of the same antennas
that Werner sold and is very similiar to the add Comantennas has now
running in Amateur Radio magazine.

I do know for certain that I had bought an antenna from Werner in 1991,
so he was still in business at that time at least. But the name Derek
Tomlinson does sound familiar in some way.

I heard Werner sold his business and bought it back at one stage, before
selling it again.
