I'm looking to build a homebrew 2 element quad like the old pdl-2. I'm having trouble figuring out how to construct a dual polarity driven element. If it is possible to build one, is it still a full wave antenna with 2 feed points in the line? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are those pics Booty. I'm not sure what pills are in this thing. I assume they are 2789s if I'm getting 200+ watts out of them. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Hey Booty, I'm trying to upload some pics of that amp but can't seem to get them uploaded. I'm using photobucket. Oh, also on my phone. No computer...lol

Is Powermax a good brand of ps? I found a powermax 75 amp at a good price online.

I have a Galaxy 350 2 pill. It will do about 225 watts on am. Not sure what it does on ssb. So all I really need is a good power supply. A 55-60 amp ps should run both radio and amp, right? I would like a switchable ps or solid state ps but don't know much about them. When I was into radios...

I have a Galaxy dx959 single mosfet final and will be getting it tuned soon. I plan to run it at a 2-3 watt dk with about a 20+ watt swing. I'm looking for an amp that will produce around 500 watts and that can be used on ssb as well. Also, what size amp power supply will run the amp? Any...

Will a cd 45 rotor handle a maco 5 hv? Or would it be best to get a beefier rotor?

You're right Mr. Clean. I had to read SE's website on antenna basics again...lol. A local suggested to me that a quad would be the way to go. I wouldn't mind putting one up but I have no idea how they do on ssb. I need an antenna that will perform on am and ssb. Also, where I live, the only...

Thanks guys. I have already compared the two antennas on Bells website. I was under the impression that the gizmo was great for dx but lacking performance and harder to achieve a good swr on the vertical side. I read this in a post (not sure what website I read this). The only downside I can see...

Hello all. I'm looking into getting a beam in the near future. I've been researching and found these two beams. I run a Galaxy dx959 radio and I will be using ssb occasion. I also like the dual polarity capabilities as well. I will be putting the antenna up on a 50-60 ft. tower using a cd 45...
