sure I need to transfer them from my phone I got all kinds of stuff going on just because I didit donent make it rite so long as it works,Any pictures? Particularly of the antenna feed point? I don't have a beam yet but this one is on my list.
Well, to start with,............... you tower "might" be interfering with the vertical elements.
... and the horiz ones too, but to a lesser degree.
You have the boom going thru the tower,.........................have you considered adding some mast to get the antenna above the tower?
I will be posting a better pic in a bit thought I had them all but they were all the same go figureIt looks like your horizontal gamma match goes right passed the vertical radiator. It would seem to me that the horizontal gamma would need to go the other way so it will not be near anything that would interfere with it. I think someone else here had a similar problem not too long ago. Maybe they can help.
yse I have I got one on order but couldn't resist once I got my coax there was too much excitement.Well, to start with,............... you tower "might" be interfering with the vertical elements.

yes the rotor is 3 ft down inside the towerAnother issue: He has the rotor sitting on the top plate of the tower. This will make it almost impossible to raise the mast so the antenna clears the tower.
The rotor needs to sit inside the tower 2 or 3 feet down, then a thrust bearing on the top plate so enough mast can be used for the vertical portion of the antenna to clear the tower.
That's one reason I never cared for a dual-polarity beam antenna.
The extra wind load, larger rotor plus H/D mast pipe just not worth the extra expense.
I always had a ground plane above the horizontal yagi. Vertical yagis were always PITA unless they were for 2 meters
My 2 cents worth.
All the Best

here is hopefully a better pic. you all have all come up with very good valid possibilities. I appreciate all the responses.It looks like your horizontal gamma match goes right passed the vertical radiator.
