Hello To All
I hope my first reply to the request for a simple beam design has not
started any conflects among the Tower Talk members. My reply was to simply
comment on not reinventing the wheel. Rather then trying to design a new
antenna I felt the C3SS by Force-12 was a better way to go. Haveing a proven
design that is known to work in a very small package seemed to me a better
way to go rather then starting from scratch. It is a lot of fun designing
and testing new antennas but during a contest I feel is not the right time
or place. If a person checks how to assemble the C3SS before the contest
event I feel it can be done in about an hour. If it takes 2 hours so what.
At least when the job is done we know the antenna will do what it was
designed to do and that is make points for the contester. Rich/AA2MF
