Will you be using an analyzer when you build your beam? I sure would be interested to know what kind of numbers you are seeing at resonance and at the ends of your <1.5:1 and your <2:1 bandwidths.

You will figure it out when you get your APB up and working I'm sure, so keep us posted on your progress.

I will be using an analyzer (MFJ) and will keep all informed. All I know is that the 6' long 35ohm coax. It is in fact RG-83 and it came with the beam, it was suggested to use it and not omit it. The beam was great for rejection. Forward gain seems pretty good.

I will start with duplicating the element length and spacing as the original a smuch as possible.

I was wondering, how about a 1/2 or 5/8 wave astroplane? What would that look like?
