Freecell that looks like an antenna that I can build. I think I might try. Easy and not too fancy. I like 20 meters the best.

I think I'll go with the reflector driven setup. Another Question. I am using a 1:1 current Balun to feed the drive element. Is that OK to use or does the impedance change with only two elements. I see all knds of matching systems and I must admit they don't seem to make sense to me. I am reading about some diffrent ways to match the driven element. I know I must seem like I don't know anything and lets just say I know some basics. Beyond that I won't lie I need to learn. I enjoy the challenge tho and the fun of making my own antennas.
