What is the length of one of the dipole loops from top of the bottom? Measure straight across each arc from inside edge of one to the outside edge of another or, give center-to-center measurement. Also measure the length of the pigtail on that same loop to the center of the molded Y splitter.

The overall length of one element for 450-470 MHz should be about 11-3/16 The overall length of one element for 406-420 MHz should be about 12-1/2 Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: mike m...@verizon.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 6:00
