Summary

Description
English: Experimental wire parabolic antenna built by radio entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi at Hendon, UK, to investigate transatlantic beam shortwave transmission. It consists of a vertical half-wave monopole feed antenna consisting of a hanging wire at the focus of a parabolic reflector consisting of a curtain of hanging vertical wires suspended from the towers by horizontal cables. It was driven at 15 meters (20 MHz) by a 700 watt vacuum tube transmitter. Alterations to image: increased contrast and used sharpening filter in Gimp to bring out wires against sky
