I get pool poles for free up to 16,' I think, is there a good place to get the dimensions for the radials and there spacing. I am sure for different bands it's different. I dont want to buy one mor fun to make. Besides I'm poor.
What do you call the cross elements that are at right angles to the boom? First one is the longest then they get shorter. I would like to build 4 element beam horizontal and verticle with mostly free parts. I need to do more research on if each element is isolated from the boom. And how to connect the element together so they are balanced. Just a experiment to gain knowledge.
Not too savvy on all the different terms. It will get better as my friends on here educate me. Thanks for responding.i did drive a 4' ground rod and ran 16 to the rod from the E terminal.listening to Slovakia nowWhy are we talking about radials if you are talking about making a beam?

1" ribbed aluminum usually. One is slightly smaller , i even have a three piece pole will check the sizes tommrow. Thanks for respondingThe diameter of the elements is a factor for the element spacing as well.
