Hey Pat,if 7J4AAL is an "ahiru doro" on 80m as you claim what does that make you? Or me for that matter. I know. Jealous right? Actually I just noticed that antenna is good for 75/80m and 160m as well as a rotary dipole. :?
 
SKYWAVE SKYWAVE THE REAL TRUE ANTENNA

WELL THIS IS WHAT I DO IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A MACO BEAM I CAN MODIFY THE BEAM TO MY SPECS OR I CAN BUILD YOU ONE I ORDER ALL THE MATERIAL FROM MACO AND I USE MY SPECS TO BUILD WHAT I WANT............
 
Got a friend who had a two element quad on 75 meters. It could be turned, but only by hand (you just didn't do that much turning with it - lol). Would loved to have had it but not enough to put up the tower it required. Besides, it wouldn't fit on my property. Oh well, some of us just have to 'make do'...
