I Remember back in early 60's a number of hams in my home town built
clover leaf antennas for 2 & 6 meters.. if my memory serves me right they
were horizontally mounted and worked quite well for 2 & 6 Mtr AM
in those days .. I used one as a novice for 2 mtrs. Novices had 2m AM
priviledges back then. But I had nothing to compare it to so can't say it
was better or worse tnan any other 2m antenna. Also if memory serves me
right it was mad up of 3 heart shaped full wave loops condected in
paralell and fed with a single coaxial line.

I still have such an antenna -- for two meters. It is the Cuschcraft Big
Wheel. It consists of
3 vertex-rounded triangular elements. I think they are a full wavelength
with one side of each
connected to the center conductor of the coax and the other side of each
connected to
ground. So it looks like a cloverleaf. It produces an omni-directional
pattern. My antenna has four of these stacked with phasing harnesses.

The original inquiry mentioned for use at broadcast frequencies, so I doubt
that the Big Wheel
is what is meant.
