[NLRS] WTB 2304 Antenna

[Donn]

Hi Mel.

Kent didn't make one for 2304.  1296 is as high as he's 
gone.  Straight yagis are touchy at 2304...  margins maybe 
+/- 1/32" to 1/16", plus small varations in materials (or 
failure to follow directions EXACTLY) can make a big 
difference in performance.  A loop yagi is easier to 
build... if you have the tools to make the elements. 
Directive Systems sells'em... somewhat pricey, but....

What do you feel you need for gain ?  A #10 juice can (46 oz 
tomato juice, etc.) will make a horn w/~10 dB gain.  Putting 
a flare on it can get you more gain with simple 
construction.  If you're going to be at Breakfast next 
weekend, we can talk.

A 2' dish will give you ~22-24dB gain.  Could be wire frame; 
doesn't have to be solid, although you'll not get quite as 
much gain.  18-20 dB is still a fair amount.
