Perhaps not totally on subject but this reflector does talk a lot about
antennas. I currently have an operational UHF repeater and wish  to
equip it with a 4 bay or better yet an 8 bay vertical dipole. Being a
ham it would be out of the question to buy new commercial (about $500
and $1,100 respectively). 

So I searched the Internet for plans to build such an antenna but could
not find any. So I am wondering are they (vertical VHF and UHF dipoles)
that difficult for the average ham (I do have a machine shop) to build
or have I just not found the plans? I have built the j poles and such
but I want a stacked dipole for the gain advantage.
