The last real project was a 4el yagi, and a 5/8 with short Sirio style radials which I found seriously lacking (low receive, poor DX performance compared to large GP 5/8) and took down. I have played with a vertical 1/2 wave Omni, but haven't figured out the matching section for an endfed non-radial antenna, yet. I do not want to put a plastic box at the base with a variable capacitor in it. Something more like the A99 or Imax has to minimize the size of the thing.

Beyond that, I am in the process of redoing my Vector (Qv4k) trying to beef it up and checking it against some of the info coming out in this thread lately and BM's Booty4 thread.
