Hi,

Am trying a homemade 7 element handheld beam I'm making for 70cm
with .25" brass stock. Have a little junction box I have mounted on
the beam with a male socket so I can use a BNC cable for the radio
connection. Does it matter what size/type wire I use to connect the
socket to the brass element and the Gamma match element inside the
junction box? I want to use a socket so I can use different lengths of
cable as opposed to hardwiring the cable to the antenna.

Thanks loads,
Kurt

I havent had good results using a gamma match on 70cm. Im not sure if
its something I am doing wrong or maybe everyone else has problems
with gamma matches on this band too. I have become a quagi fan for
this band.
