Update: I have contracted Hamzi, an engineering friend in Pakistan, to provide these technical drawings that I have recalled of the mystery device found glued onto the window of Don Neil's apartment. As close as we could analyze, this was a highly advanced ham radio created crudely by Don Neil. I was able to verify that he spoke with at least one known associate in New York City by using this device rigged to his home computer.
The short, stubby antennae, was not available for ham radio in those days and operators had to have a huge tower to get any range. Now, there are ham radios of this size that use a stubby antennae and hit modern day repeaters to communicate around the world.
Remember, he had developed this prior to his murder in 1983! Please keep in mind that these are technical drawings of the box and antennae itself. Both, the box, and the antennae were wrapped in several thick layers of black electricians' tape in a crude criss-cross pattern which are not included in these drawings.
Photos of design will be posted as soon as I have them converted...stay tuned!
