I use to talk to Bill and Ted all the time. They made a good quad and a greater mobile, but I know little about the specifics of their antennas. What kind do you have? After they split up Bill had a Website, but he would never answer inquiries.

Bill is still around. I still hear him occasionally when conDX are right. He usually hangs out on 27.475 maybe you might catch him there. He has a CDX #. His WWRF profile name is American Kangaroo. Check and see if you can find his profile and maybe PM him.

I've talked to Bill for several years. Bill has moved a few miles away from where is QTH was here in Washington.
He is still in North Eastern Washington tho and he has not got his base set back up yet as far as I understand.

Never did have his e-mail.

The antennas I have is a (2) Elelment and a (4) Elelment.. The 4 Elelment is at my Summer home is Wis on a 100 feet Tower. And the 2 Elelment is on a 30 feet tower..here in Chicago.. Wend I set up the antennas I used a MFJ 259 to set the SWR and both were so easy I couldnt belive that they set to a 1.3 swr.. I know wend Bill talk on his Beam you couldn't get a work in at all.. And talk about Blowing Smoke with on amp at all. I know on my 2 element everyone that I talk to say that I have an amp also.. Not Ture.. Just 45 watt's.. I live to get his 6 elelment beam..

667, Bill once told me that his beam was pre-tuned. That may be true. You note that you tuned yours with an analyzer. I also understood that all wires were pre-cut and were steel and did not require streaching. What did you do to tune and did you find you had to tune?

Did they both use some device at the feed point to match? Were they the same or different? Can you describe that device?

How did the coax attach to the antenna?

Marconi, I only used the analyzer to make sure that the SWR was what Bill told it would be.. And it was just that 1.3 swr with a 100 feet of coax. The wire Bill used looks like 13 ga stranded braided gold wire. The wire did streach a little. I thought it was copper at first but it's gold.. And the end of the coax goes into a female so 239. Both antennas are the same.. I hope this help's you..
