Mark - To keep from repeating my self i'll refer you to my response to John's reply. I appreciate your reply but your references were for Yagi's and colinear antennas and not applicable to what i had in mind of building, though the colinear antenna may be a fallback. If Chuck Kelsey is amongst the readers of this post maybe he has some additional info on the 1.2 GHz dimensions i'm looking for. Thanks again for your input.
