I'm rebuilding an old Hy-Gain Super Penetrator that I came across. I noticed that the driven element and the beta are both broken. The wire is 1/8 inch aluminum wire, which I can get my hands on. But, upon thinking about it, I'm wondering if making new ones out of 1/8 inch brass rod stock might not be better. But the question I have is what will that do as far as capacitance and swr? Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
