looks that is not more avaliable the info in KI6LO's page

and I support  the bigger the better.  -- with good design off course--

modeling studies: which keeps the boom length at 12', changes the element 
spacing, changes the element lengths... and maximizes gain for a 12' boom on the 
freq. range 50.0 to 50.2 Mhz.  The information can be found on KI6LO's website.  
(works great on the CW & SSB portion of 6-meters)

The mod makes a significant improvement in gain with minimal work.
