moonraker
If it is a complete antenna I would put it on ebay, those things are going crazy on there.By the time some of those nuts end up bidding you probably will be close enough to add a little cash and buy the new 5 element.

Yes, that's 3100 degrees F. Nine yrs of hard work.
When you say size of the element are you asking for the dia. of the elements?
The elements on a 105 "flat" is .562 dia., this is figuring for the taper. I would suspect that the HV might be the same.

m105hv spacing of elements
i guess i am not being descriptive enough what i want to know is the spacing between all 5 element like in inches or ft. between each one all the way across the boom or do i space it like the regular moonraker4 and mess with the added fith element for best result?????????? my other question is the elenents across the boom doesnt each element taper from big to small??? if so the fith element that i am adding what would the horz.and vert. size be from number 4???????????????/

Re: m105hv spacing of elements
The elements on a M105 are .562 dia, this is figuring the taper.
As far as spacing go's, one has to know what freq. that you would want to set them at. If you were to give this, then I can tell you what each one would be. But I would have to also know what the dia of the elements are to do this. You would need to have all elements the same size in dia.excavator701 said:

moonraker conversion to a 105hv
the frequency i would most be using is 26800to about 27600 in that general area the fith element is going to be made out of extra mookraker parts so the parts and the diameter of the horz. and vertical will be the same i just wanted to know if all the elements taper from big to smaller across the boom and from what i anderstand the boom will have go go from standard mookraker size to 26ft right????about 9and a half ft longer????

The boom length will be just a shade longer than 26'.
Why don't you send me your e-mail ad, then I can send the figures for you.

Re: moonraker conversion to a 105hv
When adding the 5th element it must be the same dia as the other elements reguardless wheather it is tapered or not. If it's a 2 piece then it makes easier to adjust the element, instead of having to cut the end's to tune it.excavator701 said:
