I saw a strange antenna at the end of my street today, this gentleman had
a
moonraker up, but took it down and replaced it with something I have never
seen before
it is a beam antenna with vertical elements as well as elements at 45
degree
angles from the 0-180 plane so one vertical up and two at angles down four
sets of elements in each plane.

Any idea what the idea behind this is? It looks to be a home brew antenna.

yep that must be it thanks...never seen one before. His still looks to be
home brewed though, as the elements were bent, not angled hardware.


hey now, thats the 8 element jogunn. i use the 5 element with superior
results. i've got salt water surrounding me with the long island sound
to the north and the atlantic to the south and have never had a problem
with corrosion or metal fatigue. going to be sticking it on a 40' tower
shortly which the wife will be thrilled about
