Hello One Twenty Seven:




I have made a few Prototype Bolt on upgrade Hair Pin / Beta Matching and Insulated Driven Element Assemblies. And seen a significant increase in the field strength after the Hair Pin and Insulated assembly was bolted on and tuned.




Maybe thats why Hy-Gain, M-Squared, Force 12, Cal-AV, and all the other Big Boys use them, and NOT Gamma Matches!




Without doing any formal testing, the few Prototype users are reporting back what I have seen the first time we tried replacing the easy and cheap to manufacture Gamma Match and Uninsulated Driven Element. With the Hair Pin / Beta Match and Insulated Driven Element.




Here's what we did:

Plans are for a bolt on Aftermarket Hair Pin / Beta with Insulated Driven Element, for around 100 to 120 dollars. Fitting a Boom size diameter size of 1 1/2,  2, and 3 inches. Again after formal testing is done.




Jay in the Great Mojave Desert, .... just down the road ah ways from the fillin station.
