No baluns are used

That alone is at least one thing wrong with the design.

Do you use a balun with a helix and a dish reflector? Surely that bit at
least is right!

Hi Ian,

What has been done right is arguable in the face of failure. The
simple testimony easily reveals very simple problems of a fundamental
nature.

Hoisting the design 40 feet only added to the inefficiency of the
exercise (use common sense before muscles - much in the sense of
"measure twice, cut once").
