[MRCA] Antennas

[ersmar at comcast.net]

Al:

     Some time in the next couple of weeks, could you verify the dimensions of the two sets of wires on your AS-2259 for me?  I inferred their lengths for my earlier modeling efforts by taking the dimensions for another Ham's homebrew equivalent.  However, I never actually measured the lengths.  Harris's web pages on the antenna cleverly do not give dimensions.  

     If I had the correct lengths I could model the actual antenna and build a matching network for 3.885.  Thanks.
