Re: [IRCA] Sept 3 DU chase from IL resend

[Neil Kazaross <neilkaz58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Craig, take a look at a picture of a DKAZ. The DCFF is basically the same
antenna but with the two loops enlarged to be rectangles (Flags) rather
than triangles (delta flags).

I'll write up more details if I can optimize. But I need to see DKAZ-like
30 dB+ daytime F/B rather than 20-25 dB although there are some 30.  73 KAZ
