    That is one you try to turn, and the house turns for zero deg set.

    Nice. :D

    Hi Dan love your "lazer" would rather have a single boom, than 2 stacked 4 elements, it looks the part, really cool.my father had an 8 element wire beam for 20m at our old house.

    Thats about 3 elements too many for such a short boom. Reminds me of Telrex in the 60's with 11 el on 6M on a 36' boom

    During my contest years I had 4/4/4/4 on 20 on 40' booms all computer optimized.
