Hi Clare,

Here is the link to the "tape measure beam" which I built for the fox 
hunt.  I didn't have time to adjust it for SWR before the hunt, but it 
seems to work well otherwise.  After the hunt, I also noticed that the 
element spacing was not exactly as spelled out on the plan.  Oh, well, 
another ham project for the list.

The front-to-back ratio is advertised as greater than 50 db.  So I was 
checking for the null to provide direction.  The web site also has a 
link to an antenna analysis program and the file for the antenna per the 
plans.

Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Sincerely,
