I'm looking for any information and/or construction details for a hi-gain
folded dipole omni-directional antenna in the 1.2 GHz Amateur band (similar to
the VHF design shown in the ARRL Handbook or the DB products line) for use as a
base or repeater antenna. I would like to build the folded dipole type, but
am not to familiar with the way to compute the dipole dimensions, stand off
from the mast and vertical spacing of the dipole loops. If someone has already
built one successfully, I would appreciate them contacting me of list at " de
underscore n3dab @ tds dot net "(no spaces) if they are willing to share their
knowledge.
