I don't have that info, but WILSON is still in the antenna business.

Sorry Hal, but I think you are wrong. According to my recollection,
Wilson sold out to some company located in Memphis or Nashville quite
a few years ago. The new owners were not interested in continuing the
antenna business and blew me off when I asked about replacement parts
for some Wilson monobanders that I had.

If I am wrong, I would appreciate receiving Wilson's address.

73,

I have a wilson sy 1 up 65Ft and have a Force 12 c4 about 200
ft from it up 75ft. The only difference I can tell between the
two is the Front to Back. The Wilson Company in Navada(I think)
went out of business around 1979. The designer/owner (Wilson)
started another company on his own and called it Wilson antennas.
The first company had a few vhf Radios and only System 1 and
System 2 and later came out with System 3. They also had a WR500
Rotor which was pretty good but the pot went out in 2 years.

I sold their equipment in 1978. I have a Schmatic for the System
one and System 2 it needed.
