Duly noted.

I have built several antennas myself... so I certainly won't discourage others from the hobby. There is the theory, and then the practice. With out expensive test gear I can only use crude build, try, compare methods to determine real performance.

10 dBd should give you access to CH-10 and 11. On paper, it says 9.8 dBd... YMMV

Wishing you success!
