Soooo, maybe I can get it right on the third attempt. I got busy today and forgot about taking a picture of my antenna before the sun went down. I used some measurements I found on the interwebs to build from. That was before doing reading on this site.

I started with 20 pieces of 6ga copper, 18 inches long. I bent them in half with the tips at 3 inches apart. The mast was 2 inch pvc elec. conduit. I put a pair of holes 3/4 inches apart down 1 side spaced vertically at 7 inches.

I used 14ga copper to solder both parts of each whisker 7 inches from the ends. The top two pairs are connected straight down to the second pair, then cross over. Each two pair follows that pattern.

That is a horrible discription, but the best I can give right now. I just got off work and took some cold pills. It makes it hard to focus, like I got cotton in my head. I'll get a picture in the morning.

Thank you for your patience with me.
