i'm curious how the SWR's are without a matching device. All the real beams i've seen has gamma matches. Also with the boom wood, how does that affect the length of the elements? do you measure the length for the elements from outside of the boom or do you count the measurement from exact center of the boom/ elements? i'd be leary of using wood because if you mount it outdoors then it could warp from the weather.
