Does anyone have a link for the design spec's for the 2.4GHz Vertical Collinear Omnidirectional Antenna that was posted on guerilla.net.
I know of this site,
http://www.tux.org/~bball/antenna/ but would like more info on this design.

Thanks lincomatic.
The parts have been hard to get.
The N connectors cannot be found locally, so will have to get them thrrough FAB corp.
That size of brass stock is not supplied at any Home Depot's, Lowe's or Ace Hardware. Finally found the tubing and rods at a Hobby Shop locally here.
Just like my Pacific Wireless.

It looks just like my Pacific Wireless antenna. I had the chance to see what the inside looks like when it fell apart after I took it out of the box. They have 8 turns not 4, but the rest is just about the same. I have the 12dBi's and get about 3-4 miles.

Sorry, I already glued it back together and mounted it on the roof. It looks just like the picture on the web site above, but it has 8 turns in the coil.
