FC Judd gets a mention in the credits at 1.24

Mr Wiki says :-

" F. C. Judd was responsible for creating all the electronic music for
the series; he was an early British electronic experimenter, amateur
radio expert, circuit designer, author and contributor to many wireless
and electronics magazines from the 1950s to the 1990s. "

Not as famous as Delia Derbyshire, but respect d00d .

This was the antenna in combination with FM , knocked long haul 2m tropo

I dispute the claims of its advantage over the 5/8th.

He was also responsible for the ZL-Special, which was equally hyped.

I remember attending the VHF Convention at the Winning Post, probably
around 1980 with a lecture by G(M)3SEK and G4DGU knocking down the ZL
special. I think I still have the handout somewhere. In the early days
of Mutek and 16-element Tonnas.
