    Hornet 6 element

    Henry, Thank you for the response. I prefer your Direct Connect suggestion & agree 100% that a Gamma can mask loss. I forwarded your comments to my buddy 311 & he is going to get some measurements.

    Hornet 6 element

    Correct, it will be a horizontal orientation not set vertically. Elements have been cleaned and placed. But dimensioning is of question because we have no instructions or schematic. So we're kind of guessing somewhat on placement. Granted there are wear marks to follow. If, if it was assembled...

    Is resonance really where you get best antenna performance?

    What I have learned. Utilize top notch coax Shortest transmission line & jumpers you need. I see more gains keeping lines short as possible in lieu of "tuning stubs".
