Ed and All,

I have two lazy H antennas I used one field day.  One for 15 and one for 
20.  Made from #16 bare copper wire.  Each has a 1/4 wave matching 
transformer/balun made of 75 ohm coax wound on a Gaterade bottle to match 
to a 50 ohm coax, and a length of 450 ohm open wire feed line from the 
balun to the lower element, and 450 ohm feed line between the elements.  As 
is; one may even have a missing insulator for the time I couldn't find one, 
but it's easily made operational.  Send e-mail if you want one.  Pick up 
free, $10 to cover shipping from RI.  Has to be high to work well as any 
phased array.   You have to get the lower element up about 1/2 wavelength 
which was a problem for the 20 meter one for field day, but we got the 15 
meter one up high enough and it worked well.
