I have plans for a very good 6 element beam which is 15.53 feet from
reflector to D4. I could scale it to the element taper you have if needed.


It will not be a direct connect however, as those are almost never
optimal designs for gain, F/B or pattern. They are optimized to be 50
ohms with the rest subservient to that. Most of the designs I have would
be around 22 ohms so this one is probably in that area. A gamma match is
easy to make.

Sorry, I should have looked before leaping, it's 5 elements on 15.5 feet.

Id be interested in the plans.
Hard part is making the strap, Ive no shop tools/materials handy to do
it easy. Ive the tubing and
the RG8 .

Actually it's still there. I forgot to disable it. I'll leave it up
for a day or so.
