Looking for design article on patch feeds
There was a gentleman, ham radio operator who was also a professor at a college in Kentucky or Tennessee or in that general area. He was noted for his design of antennas and specifically patch feed systems for satellite communications. He passed away several years ago but his articles are still circulating around. I am looking for his article on how to design and construct a patch feed for 1296. Does anybody remember this gentleman, his call sign, and can tell me where I can file an article? Thanks for reading Dan, WHKMX

You might be referring to L. B. Cebik (W4RNL). A lot of his work went behind AntennaX's paywall after his death, but there are many mirrors of it around the web.
One example:

You might be referring to Dr. Robert Suding W0LMD who is SK. His material is mostly still on archive.org
I build an AO-40 2.4Ghz patch using his article years ago.
