<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have actually got one of these fully operational.
5db or something. Basically look at the physics at the first version using
LMR400 cable and apply to the newer one. Also allot of the measurements are VERY
incorrect. An example is in the coiled wire section. The way i did it
was looked at the measurements of the first omi antenna and applied the 1/2 and
1/4 lenghts of that to the newer omi antenna. One diagram's measurements are
totally out of whack.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I by pure luck found the right screw in my desk
which holds one of my draws up. Also another note. <FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>"3/64 solid brass rod" You don't have to use brass, i used copper and it
works perfect. I have a feeling these guys used it too because of the different
colour of materials in the last diagram. (eg. the coiled wire is different
than the tubing, and the fact it looks like copper)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also try and be accurate as you can. The best way i
found was to use a drawing util. Creating the frame
size EXACTY to the dimentations and filling in with
black.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also create at least 3 because experience matters
in this. Don't make the mistake i made by not using flux paste (stupid i know).
Trust me it makes life easier.</FONT></DIV>
