Apart for the mechanical considerations, the purpose of the matching device (beta, hairpin, gamma, T or whatever odd design) is to match the transmission line to the load. Also, just in case you heard otherwise, the kind of matching used has no effect on the gain or the overall performance of the antenna, assuming it has negligeable loss. It's ONLY a matching device, no more, no less and it has no "magical" properties


Booty not to be a ass but the internet is for sharing information, not sucking others dry. You cant expect people to do all the work and give away there work for the sake of trying to sound smart to people. Get out there and get your learn on post pictures if you have a problem then others will be happy to help. Thats what this hobby is supposed to be about but it has turned into Xerox the smart guys do the work and others want a free ride. Not saying that is you but in general thats what Cb has turned into profit from others hard work... Homie don't play that.
