  11. The other problem with a disc cone antenna is that it doesn't
  12. realize much gain.  The principal advantage is relatively wide
  13. freqency coverage with good feedline match.  I used to do EMI/EMC
  14. testing, and we used active (amplified) disc cone antennas quite a
  15. bit because it made sweeping around in freqency to locate RFI
  16. birdies easy with only a couple of antennas required.
