OOOOPS !! I should'a said "BOOM LENGTH ", I've got a calculator for the
elements, but seems there's
"give" and "take" in considering what boom length to use. i.e. .....
"gain", vs. "rejection"
A shorter boom would be more desirably for my installation.

It's also my understanding that a 4 element matches the 52 ohm coax better
than a shorter 3 element ??

Thanks

OK gang , I was sorta surprised at the different opinions and replies to

my
question 'bout the correct balun for a
4 element 11 meter "quad" antenna.
I'm still gathering the materials needed, but I thought I'd toss this in,
for your opinions.
Now ..... how 'bout a few opinions on the correct length :-)

Now ...... be kind :-)
