My wife grew up in the LA area around that time, they used to live in a high-rise on Hollywood and Vine back in the 60's. Her brother Tony worked at the Yellow Submarine on Harper and Santa Monica Blvd before he went into the Navy. Hollywood was a different world back then.... 73 Jeff

Reading that sentence made my right shoulder hurt. Vineyard work, have to plow in-between the vines and the way then was called a french plow, almost no one used herbacides back then, too expensive. (See below random poor web pic with the operator not even close enough to the berm to clean the...

Just another idea, I used to use Grainger industrial supply for stuff like this. First thing I thought of for the plastic bushing was a Dayton two bolt flanged bronze bushing. I used to keep a current Grainger catalog on desk at work for projects like this it is full of off the shelf stuff...

I have been subscribed to the channel for a while, I get a kick out of watching some of the stuff he dismantles for science, reminds me of when I was a kid. Had to tear everything apart to see how it works. 73 Jeff

Yep Mike, that gain figure looks like slightly inflated DBi, I think a two element quad is a little less than 4 DB over a dipole. I used to have a PDL II many years ago and it was a decent little antenna for the size of it. 73 Jeff
