Dear reader,

A few weeks ago I became a (15 year?) old 21 element 70 cm beam made by
Tonna. 

The construction is as follows:

               Length   Measured
Element         in mm   Spacing in mm

   Boom part 1
Reflector        350
Folded Dipole    320    138 (dipolespacing 40 mm)
Director 1       320     51 or  64 >  The user has to make a choice but
Director 2       310     67 or  73 >  But what are the differences. What is
Director 3       300    182 or 163 >  the aim of Mr. Tonna? I have no doc.
Director 4       300    183           I asked several other radioamateurs
Director 5       294    200           But several opinions.
Director 6       294    235           Tonna doesn't use a balun so the coax
   Boom part 2                        goes direct to the dipole and only a
Director 7       294    270           pipe around the coax prevents standing
Director 8       284    270           waves over the shield. The impedance can
Director 9       284    270           be ajusted with the spacing between the
Centre of boom                        driven element and the first director.
Director 10      284    270           The one tells the higher spacing is for
   Boom part 3                        use with a 4:1 balun. The other tells it
Director 11      284    270           is for frequency ajustment high or low
Director 12      284    270           in the 70 cm band for ATV or SSB DX.
Director 13      284    270           Who is right or is it a combination of
Director 14      284    270           both effects?
   Boom part 4                        Offcourse I can make measurements
Director 15      284    270           but what tells Mr. Tonna in his doc?
Director 16      280    270           Here is no Internetconnection so I do my
Director 17      280    270           question in the packetnetwork.
Director 16      280    270
Director 19      280    270

The boom has a total length of 4605 mm.

Quoted figures: Unkmown for me.

73, Wim
