Skew-Planar antenna has had little attention in the amateur radio community despite being present in QST by Robert H. Mellen, W1IJD, and Carl T. Milner, W1FVY in late 1963. The only other information of this antenna relating to amateur radio is an articlepublished in the November/December 2006 issue of TCA, The Canadian Amateur magazine by Graham Ide, VE3BYT, with David Conn, VE3KL.
