back to PVC arrays

8 port PVC array:


This antenna is incomplete but will be an 8-element version of the 4-element brass design, for home
installation, to be used with the 8 port combiner.

I got to exercise my geometry from school when designing the PVC layout to get the element distances and
angles perfect, but it should be extremely accurate. Care was taken in designing the combiner board
symmetrically, and coax lengths will need to be precisely measured when connecting the combiner.

3/4" PVC was used for the mast and main boom, and reduced to 1/2" for the element booms, to lower weight.
