Dick,

Haha, thanks.

Quite a fan of your site too BTW, in particular you assorted inductance measuring devices. I've been meaning to combine an MCU driving an LCD with the carver LC test circuit to build a direct-reading LC meter.

Regards,

Alan

"The higher melting point of this alloy compared to normal Tin/Lead solder made holding the shorter elements while soldering them to the boom quite a painful experience."

I love your understated sense of humor!

Nice clear description of you antenna, too.

Linked a lot as a good design for a self-built dvb-t UHF antenna I tried your design too for my experiments (mainly trying to find out how many dvb-t multiplexes I can find and how tropospheric tunneling can help for foreign signals). It works great. Details and reports about my dvb experiments
