Morning, Bob...

Skip and Janet just left; they're great folks and I really enjoyed chatting
with them.

Here's what's coming:
1) predrilled and marked boom (approx 16')
2) 4 assembled and marked elements (you'll have to make the driven element)
3) element to boom brackets with attaching screws and nuts
4) driven element element to boom insulator with hardware
5) balun I had on hand
6) documentation packet with 'screenshots' off my computer of swr, gain,
f-b, pattern, matching info etc

Things you will need to make/do:
1) buy two six foot sticks of .375" alum tubing for DE
2) fabricate a boom to mast plate
3) make the hairpin
4) 'tune' the DE and hairpin

That's about all I can think of.
Please phone/email with any questions that come to mind.

Best regards to you and Miss Judy for the weekend,

Dick
