An apparatus including a gimbal and an antenna with a hollowed frustum having
a closed end and an open end. The antenna includes a feed stem at the closed end
extending as an internal rod into the hollowed frustum. The opposite end of the
rod connects to a receiver section extending from an edge of the open end beyond
a longitudinal axis of the antenna. The antenna is supported by the gimbal attachable
to a container suitable for towing. A pivot at the open end in relation to the
center-of-gravity of the frustum allows a swinging arc in relation to the attached
gimbal in that the frustum moves by gravity toward the axes of the gimbal such
that the receiver section maintains a facing position to the force of gravity.
