Hi David.

We're planning on having the antenna measuring ranges set up for Aurora '11 as 
we have in the past.  Aurora '11 will be 14 May 2011.  Its being held at the 
First Lutheren Church in White Bear Lake, Cnty Rd 'F' and US 61.  (That's about 
2 miles north of I-694 and US61 on the north side of the Cities.)  The antenna 
range is 0900-noon (WX permitting, of course), with the seminar program running 
from 1PM to 5PM.  Registration in the past has been $5, and it probably will be 
the same this year.  (Its not a money-maker... just to cover expenses.)

We run two ranges: 2m - 1296MHz and 2304 - 10GHz (24GHz if I get the source 
repaired).  Your project will work nicely on the "high" range.

Don't forget to mount the Vivaldi horizontally so you have horizontal 
polarization.  Most pictures I see of commerical antennas using Vivaldi antennas 
are vertical, so its easy to get mis-lead.

Hope to see you at Aurora '11 !
