shockwave,
any news on your progress with the larger hoop on the 11mtr vector?,
i am looking for 6061-t6 drawn tube in the uk, looks like its going to cost 180-200 dollars shipped for a section of 1-58"x.058 plus four 3/8x .065" upper radial sections,
if i am going to end up shorter than 90" on the radials with a larger hoop i dont need the stronger upper radial sections, i can use radial parts from the 4 or 5 broken vectors i have in the garrage at least as a temporary test setup,
using four 60" avanti lower radial sections allows me to experiment with a longer than 90" radial using the stock 30"hoop or no hoop
i am undecided if i should go with a 2" bottom section with the 1-5/8" second section shortening the sigma4 sections to create a very strong antenna with near zero flex in the gamma area or go with double skinned 1-5/8" x .058" for the bottom section,
i guess i will have to make both bottom sections and test them to see if altering the diameter ratios hurts performance,
a while back i made a 6mtr vector 4000 out of a snapped 11mtr vector, the 6mtr version should be strong enough, just need a suitable gamma,
since you do the 6mtr dominator im surprised you dont offer the 6mtr vector too,
keep us posted on any news
