HI ALL . I have been given a broken 6m Beam, but i have no idea of the 
maker... The description of it is ... 

D1 = 8FT 5
D2 = 8FT 6
D3 = 8FT 7
Driven Elelement = 9ft 1
Reflector = 8ft 8

error Relector should read 9ft 8

the gaps between elements are 2 x 33.5cm and 2 x 35cms but i do not know 
which gap is for what element ???

So can you please tell me what the gap is for D1 ? D2 ? D3 
is it 33.5 or 35 cms,

OH Yes each of the elements can be ajusted at each end for length 
by sliding the 18in end tip in or out.

but as there is a small hole in the the sliding part i assume that it 
the default makers setting.. 

where a small screw will keep the ajustable tip in place .

I have managed to replace the very rusty element nut and bolts
and the square boom connenting bolts.. 

oh yes i forgot to tell you the size of the boom it's 11ft 8

So i am wondering if i could have a Sandpiper or Moonraker 
or what ever...

The only thing broken is the brass/copper GAMMA match.
i do not know how it made contact with the rear of the so239 socket
does the L shaped end of the gamma match have a thinner short pin
to insert into rear of the 239 ? if thats the case than mine does NOT
have a short thin pin end.
#
or if not as above how then does it make a connection.
maybe i have something missing from the rear of the socket ?
