All,

This is off topic for this group, however what is the consensus of the 17 
meter "Wonder Bar" antenna?

>From a stand point of low wind load and some directivity, this looks like a 
good project for my QTH.  I do have questions concerning tuning and spacing of 
the elements.  

First off, is this beam actually worth building?

I own the MFJ 249 (pre B version) and a Grid Dip Meter.  I would like to better 
understand how to tune the elements for resonance.

There were no formulae given or stated for construction of this beam or 
construction of a similar beam on another band.  A Google search did not yield 
much information.  I was contemplating ordering the older QST articles that 
were referenced.

73, 

Doug - N9XTF
