The antennas were manufactured by Valcorn a company with a sales office and some manufacturing facilities here in Cruces. Valcom also operates a a a i a i i in Canada, where the 35-fooiwhip antennas that were tested were produced. According to Michael Valeriote, president and owner of a the a a i a Defense Research Board ex peeled one antenna would he broken in two places, the next furthest antenna from UK: blast would be broken in one place near the top, and the furthest would stand.undamaged.

The 'result, according to Valeriote, was that none of the antennas broke, and the reason, Vak'riolc said, was because nf the antennas' unique, superior design. Villa-idle holds Ibe U.S. patcnl on (he large whip antennas, which he dexcrilxiil as being solid filxjrgiab's i a copper core. His customers include the navies of: the United Slates a U.S. Coast a i Great Urilain, Canada, Spain, Greece, Ecuador, Peru, and Columbia.

Me said (he results didn't crane, as too much of a shock for liim: Iw had tested one of his models in a simulation of a 2,400 mplnvind. The Canadian government, he said, didn't yet want to release information on just how far the three antennas stood from ground zcru 'the exact site of the detonation of the KXi tons of ammonium nilrate-fuel oil i. Valcriole's latest and most local venture into the antenna a i is (he production and sale of a new CB anlenna which enables the CBcr to use his selupirttloors. Nicknamed the "shoestring" antenna, Valeriole's device will Ix. 1 especially marketable to Clicrs who like lo take (heir car radios indoors but ivho don't have the outside antenna in i homes, offices, or whatever'.

Highl now Valcom's offices at M7 Amodor arc set up primarily to house the company's four-person sales force, but the full-scale production of the new CB antenna threatens to lake over soon.
