I've pretty much decided on the Maco five element specs for my next project. I have two issues however that I need to resolve with respect to the design.
1 - Matching, Should I go with a gamma matching system or a Beta?. I've heard pro's and cons on both; any advice??
2- Feeding, Should I just bolt the coax directly; use the RF choke (coax looping); or go with a balun???? I kinda like the idea of using a balun and insulating the driven element from the boom but I can't seem to find one to my liking. I'd like to build the beam so if I upgrade to higher power I won't need to do anything to my antenna system. The highest rated balun I've seen is for 10KW. What do ya'll thank???
