The community radio station I put on, is too far to hear at my home really, so
I needed a good aerial. I designed this one from a well engineered but very
old scrap Band 2 aerial as a starting point using the free MMANA-GAL aerial
design software.
I wanted it to do well over the whole 20MHz of Band 2, but this caused a real
compromise in the preformance!
All the elements use 10mm dia tube.

This works well 75ê SWR was quite flat as above. But now regret I did not
designed it to be a spot frequency narrow band 1MHz wide aerial, as that would
give 2-3dB more gain & > 22dB F/B ratio. The back of the beam QRM is the main
problem I have! :-(
