I am looking for dimensions for the 10m Ringo.

I want to upscale it for 20 meters to try in a 4 square phased array configuration, idea being to dispense with radials.

I am mainly interested in the ring dimsensions.

Hmm, I have an 11m Ringo, but getting measurements may be tough for a week or so until after the 'car-wash' rain comes to an end as it's up in the rear of the house as a 2nd monitoring antenna.
When I removed it from a friend's home a month or three ago and replaced it with an Imax 2000 he gained 6-7dB on the Icom analog S-meter, (no other changes made) but in the configuration for which you're planning to use it, it should accomplish the task nicely.

Remind me with a PM in 5-7 days and I'll climb the ladder. Sooner if I get a brief reprieve and have a few minutes.

I wish I still had the paperwork.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
