The Javelin spike antenna : radiation patterns and voltage standing-wave ratio, 1961:p. 1 ("The Goddard Space Flight Center was assigned the problem of providing telemetry transmitters for Javelin vehicles 8.01 and 8.02 and the ground receiving station at Wallops Island, Virginia. Consideration was first given to the question of whether the spike antenna, fed by the telemetry transmitter, would have a satisfactory voltage standing-wave ratio ...")
