Default Big Wheel plans

I had already checked the index in my oldest ARRL Antenna Book, circa
1974, and nothing in there. Argh.

I sure wish I had a copy of the 1972 VHF Manual. Our Northern Lights RC
monthly breakfast is in about an hour, I'll check there and see if
anyone has that manual. It's a good bet since W0AUS, the blazing core
of our 10 GHz SSB/CW group, has probably been a ham for over 60 years.

Thanks for the tip.

Also, was a staple in the ARRL Radio Amateur's
VHF Manual c. 1972 (pgs 198-199) . These were
pretty common in two meter A.M. days, and stacked
pairs worked pretty fair, considering they were
Omni-Directional. Jim NN7K

I've done a fair bit of googling, and haven't found a decent set of
plans to construct a 2m Big Wheel. I have found the original article
from 1961, but the resolution in the pdf is lousy.

Anyone have a link?
