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?

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 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.

Tom, I've got that one. Big Wheel is on page 198.
What do you need to know?

I'd like a copy of those pages if you could have the ability of scanning
them.

Thanks.

Is your newsgroup taring.org email address valid?

Yes, but zip the files them or they won't get here.

Also send me a regular email with no attachments, and I'll give you an
alternate address in case the system eats the zip, too.
