Hi Phil, you put my effort to shame, great job on the detail with a choke balun and hand grip. ? I think though your director is to far forward, the measurements were not clear, but typically they are with reference to the reflector, so in this case D1 should be 176mm from Ref not DE that I think you've done.? ? So simple and cheap to make every amateur should have one. Anyone need help let me know. ? 73 Keith -----Original Message----- From: Phil B <phil_m0ima@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: wkars-members <wkars-members@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:19 Subject: [wkars-members] Re: RADIO FOX HUNT ? Hi everyone, ? I've had a bash at making Keith's antenna. The result is below. ? The elements are 6mm tube that I happened to have in the workshop. The dipole was bent, not altogether successfully, using a cheap and nasty brake pipe hand bending tool. ?I've used plastic fixing blocks from B&Q for the mounts. Tried it out on a couple of 70cm stations. It appeared to work okay, but, as they say, the proof of the pudding......... ? 73. ?Phil. ?M0IMA.
