That looks great,It looks like you used set-screws to attach each element .
That is really some great workmanship..
I really hope I am not bugging you to much.
It seems I have the fever lol .
Just tell me if I start to get on your nerves.
Have you tried the 800-900 mhz range with that antenna? I know you use it for VHF, I was just curious how well it works at higher frequencys.
I live about 15 miles (by air) from the charleston airport (the airforce uses the same runways) and really want to get a good all around antenna built.
So far mine have been experiments.
Thanks
PS I do owe ya ...

No,you're not bugging me,this is my hobby! yes,everything is held together with SS set screws,as far as bandwidth,I have scanned the full spectrum of my pro-26(25-1300Mhz),and very good results,even down to the CB radio frequencies.
