11 meter is very quiet?

Murdog....
Element Spacing
From reflector to driven is 78.7"
From driven to 1st dir is 43.3"
From 1st dir to 2nd dir is 61.4"
From 2nd dir to 3rd dir is 114.9"
From 3rd dir to 4th dir is 142.5"
Now, after the 5th element you need a minimum of 9 feet. My 5th is mounted at the end of the boom. Element length is critical.
Reflector is 210.2" long
Driven is 203.1" long
1sr dir is 197.6" long
2nd dir is 193.7" long
3rd dir is 187.4" long
4th dir is 185.0" long
 
Beam update.....
I am just tickled pink. I hooked my analyzer up to "Locomotive Breath" this morning. Without even adjusting the antenna gamma... this is the SWR after the build. I couldn't believe it!!!! I know the SWR will come down even more once I mount it up top my 20 foot tower. I hooked some coax to it and ran my 6 watt Cobra 29 LTD Classic into to it. I heard Michigan out there and called for him. He came back saying I was doing a solid 10s units to him. I couldn't believe it. I spoke with him for about 20 minutes without fading out. All I could think of was how this thing was going to work when I put some power into it. I didn't want to try running any power into it yet because of all the ground reflection....but once it is up 20 feet.....Trainman will be dropping the maul.
Trainman in the big bam....steppin'

Very different for me today. Across Mizoo on 44 to Chicago, up 55.

Had One Eleven, Central Alabama as he responded to Wisconsin & Chicago on 38-LSB about 1600.

Quiet otherwise. Yesterday’s freak-out over.
