home-brew sigma 4/vector 4000

[BOOTY MONSTER]

i guess the best instruction i could give is to not be afraid to try . i just copy time proven designs , i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel . keep it simple for your first antenna , like a dipole or 1/4 wave ground plane . when it works you'll have a lot more confidence to try something bigger .

i have no idea how much power it will handle , i only run 200 pep . i built it really strong physically to be sure it can survive the hurricanes we get here on occasion . i guess the weak point power wise would be the mobile stud mount or the tape used for the insulator in the gamma . it would be very simple to direct feed it from the coax to eliminate the stud . and a teflon tube can be had for it for 10-15 bucks , if i recall correctly . or a better/stronger gamma could be added . i'm sure the rest of it could handle several thousand watts or more easily .
