Re: Satellite Users & Antennas

said by drjim See Profile :

Since the elements go *through* the boom, they wind up being too short! I got some threaded 1/4" thick aluminum spacers, and add one under each element before I put it together, and the gain is noticeably improved on 70cm.
I read about that with them (electrically being part of the boom instead of insulated as per the design they were modeled after). I'll have to try it with my Arrow and see the difference.
