I've finished building and tuning my first goofy beam. Whoever though of these was smoking crack. It tuned great. Rejection from 30db to 5db on my neighbors signal about 3 miles away. Its horz right now 6ft off the ground. I'm waiting to get a radio check later from a further local station with a horz later tonight.
I fed the "front" short side and then jumped it over to the "back" longer side. The tuning went easy enough but the front element adjustment seems to be the only real adjustment. The back does affect it but not like the front. The gamma match went super well.
I'm using left over ground radials from an old groundplane for the elements. I'll post pics of the build after I clean it up. Right now it's in the ugly wirenut and tape phase. I've posted a pic of the match. 6ft off the ground and horizontal. No capacitor or inductors. Only the twin gamma match.
