I dont know if Dave built it or not but I did and tested the beamwidth
just as you said and got 360 degrees. Rotating it had no effect at all
on signal strength. I tried it on 2M and couldnt hit the local
repeater with 1 watt normally I can reach it with 100mW.


Hi Jimmie,

Try it again on Saturday and Sunday to see if its more attuned to the
Weekend force.
