That actually looks really neat Mike... I'm thinking it must be a folded dipoleof some sort, which would explain the balun (inside the little box) in the center.You may have described this, but tell us, how do you have this mounted? Is itstrung from front to rear in your turtledeck, or wrapped somehow? Dipoles don'ttypically offer the best omnidirectional characteristics, but hey, if it ismatched well and functions well, no need to complicate matters. It does lookto be simple to use and install.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
