I'm in the process of building the antenna now.
The hardes part seemed to be making those coils - I used a sheetrock screw, but still they all turned out quite crooked.
I part that was not so easy to find was the reverse polarity type n connector which i found at http://www.hyperlinktech.com/
I need that type of connector to attach the cable that came with my enterasys system. $12 each.
Now I don't even know if I will be able to fit feedline onto the connector since the instuctions are for a smaller connector. We'll see.
I have questions:
Why do you need the coils? Does anyone explain where they get all those measurements from (apart from the wavelength which is pretty clear).
Why do you need a decoupling tube?
