We are pretty much there with the beam until the coax arrived from Nuxcom.

i have the elements set on the beam


and the guts of the driven element done



I have made the elements removable.

Yes the clever ones among you would spot that I could have made it even more compact by fixing the stubs to the elements as opposed to the centre!

Next Time




I have mixed some epoxy with microbaloons to glue in the element holders



They are a pretty snug fit and hold the elements well.

Next stage is the driven element matching stub.
