I bet your Tonna antennas would be good for direction finding! I guess you'd
need a tank and 40 acres to turn the things though. :)
If I am understanding what you mean, the 1/4 wave bazooka or the 1/4 stub
would seem to cost the same (almost nothing) since the pieces needed are
virtually...
I am back to realizing the impedances need to be matched.

Oops, I care about receiving not transmitting right? (And the balun
reguards matching antenna/transmitter impedances?)
"Coupling" the receiver to the antenna is my concern correct?
I looked up baluns in the 1993 ARRL Handbook. The bazooka balun
(Figure 14B, page 16-7) looks like it will balance the impedances if the
bazooka sleeve is 1/2 the length of the driven element. Have I got that
right?
Thanks again for your reply. You are not putting me off at all.
I need to learn at least a little of this and thanks to you I learned
a couple new terms.
Yagi Cad says this design that seems good and that ithas input
impedance 11.6 +j 0.0 Ohms
I can research how to make a balun but I'm not...
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you've used the program successfully. It sure looks like a
novice like me possibly could make it work.
I'll use the YagiCad program to design for 465.13 Mhz.
I understand that I am looking for a foward looking pattern as shown
here...
Hi All
I am afraid that I know nothing about RF. May I appeal to you
for help with this project?
I bought 4 FRS radios and am about to equip a few rockets with
them in a manner similar to this:

The radios that I have are capable of continuous...
