Gizmotchy

A Gizmotchy is an antenna developed in the early 1960s for citizens band radio by the . In the mid-1960s the patent was acquired by the and the antenna is now marketed as the Charles Gizmotchy. The Gizmotchy is a variation of the Yagi. Each element consists of three rods arranged 120 degrees apart in an inverted "Y" configuration. The driven element is essentially a three-part dipole. One of these rods is the vertical driven rod, and one is the horizontal driven rod. The third rod is what would be the other half of a regular dipole and points downward 120 degrees from vertical on the opposite side of the support pole from the downward-pointing driven rod. The other elements are parasitic radiators like those of a Yagi except consisting of inverted "Y"s.
