I'd like to thank all you kind fellows for your assistance, but
unfortunately a lot of it is rather above my head. I need to be pointed at
an article that spells out exactly what dimensions, how to build etc. (eg is
there one in the ARRL handbook?) And Owen, no in this case Suzy if not
short for Susan, so I'm not the person you knew.

OK, back to the first posting I made here. How about if I build one,
test it, and post the design and results somewhere? As I noted in one
of my postings, if I were to make one, I'd first consider how much
power I wanted to read, full scale, so if my offer is appealing, let
me know how much power you want to measure, max. Don't tell me a
kilowatt if you really are going to use it at 10 watts, because if I
design for a kilowatt, 10 watts will be low enough that you won't be
able to read it very well. In fact, I'd propose 10 watts as a
reasonable full scale for a lot of ham uses.

Cheers,
Tom
