Well got the welding rod replacements for the #10 wire elements made, coax
hooked up and SHAZAM!  1.3:1 SWR across the lower area of 2 meters and just
talked to my mentor Gary, WA8CXI in EM99 at 20 miles and whereas 10watts on
6 gets me a S2 - S3, 10watts ant his cheap yagi gets me a S9+20!!

I AM SOLD ON THIS ANTENNA! ! !

Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions and help on this
project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Cushcraft, no more money from me!!!!

Now all I got to do is get another one for a stacked pair.  Then 2 more for
a quad stack???

See you on 2 meters if it opens again tonight...
