              The antenna, developed by RA6AA and UV6AF, 
              allows rotate the directional pattern by changing the setting in 
              the Antenna Tuning Unit that may be sitting directly on the table 
              at radio shack. The antenna was made and tested at the end of the 
              80s in the USSR. Many of the Soviet hams did the antenna. Reviews 
              of the antenna were different. Someone got excellent results someone 
              got far away from what was expected for. However, it is understandable 
              because it is only four phased sloper 
              antennas and the antenna design could be provide only that it could 
              be provide. | 
             
              Yes, the antenna is a very simple design 
              that contains only four wire sloper antennas. 
              Due to changing the current phase in each four sloper 
              the antenna system does a simple rotation of the Diagram Directivity. 
              Of course it is not a rotational YAGI antenna. However the simple 
              antenna system allows rotate the Diagram Directivity that was fantastic 
              in that time! 
                 
              Anyway design of the antenna is given 
                below that allows to any ham make the antenna and see what is 
                happened. Small practice is better the big theory.
