LQQKing for Construction Article
 

Somewhere back in either 1998 or 1999 os I believe 73 magazine, there was a
construction article of a FRACTAL 10m - 2 ele quad.

Yeah, I know that there has been a lot of discussions on this and other
newsgroups about FRACTAL Antennas, but I am not looking for that. I am looking
for the article.

If you have a copy of the article, and could scan it, I can deal with the
following formats: RTS, JPEG, PIF, PDF, etc.

If you have a copy of the article, but cannot scan it, I would be willing to
purchase that issue from you.

73's,

Hi Howard,

Here is a more practical design of a directive high performance 10
meter full wave antenna--

Hi Rich,

The issue of practicality is perceptive in light of the query's focus.

Hi Howard,

Your source (the author) posted here this weekend, but he has no
interest in supplying such information. The last time it was
reviewed, that same author threatened the several of us with suits for
misappropriation (stealing) of his design. The reflector/director
design can be inferred by the drawings provided at:
http://www.qsl.net/kb7qhc/antenna/fr...sket/index.htm
and you simply use heavy gauge wire (#12) shaped to the pattern
observed there, but as a construction reference, it requires more
effort on your part - and as observed by Rich, is not particularly the
simplest project.

Good luck anyway. Write for details if you cannot rummage up the
article.

Thanks for the information.

I am still looking for the original article, and since it is not going to be
commercialized, maybe the author would like to send me a copy.

Hi Howard,

In a normal amateur relationship you would get several.

We are not talking about a normal amateur. Kind of like Nixon. Write
him at his business address and don't let a whisper of this lead pass
within the body of that plea or you go on the enemies list
automatically. Be prepared for the equivalent of a body cavity search
into your motives for wanting directions. ;-)

The details are fairly simple. Stiff wire holds the shape adequately.
You only have to figure out how to jimmy it up with a boom and to add
a cap to an identical sized reflector. The reason for that last bit
with the cap was it is more than a little complex to bend the wire
with one jig for both driven and reflected elements. The boom
supports two X shaped wooden forms to hold the far corners (and the
various bends that come close).

It is a pleasing to the eye (with the old adage about beauty...) and
is no worse nor better than any others have been suggesting in its
place. This is truly an example of a project for the project's sake;
but I've been there too.
