Hi Dan

Back in the late 60's, early 70's Gotham made a 3 element 20
meter beam for around $25.  Gamma or "T" match--take your pick. 
Worked great!  Probably lots of them still around. That's when
Telrex 3 element beams were around $500.   They also made a 2
element quad for $27.50.  I've been building my own beams for
years for peanuts!!!  73
