Re: [TowerTalk] Building a Gamma Match...

[Don Havlicek <n8de@thepoint.net>]

Dino,
Easiest way to build a gamma is to use a piece of RG-8 with the jacket 
and braid removed ... connect the center conductor to your feedline ... 
and slide the dielectric into the piece of aluminum tubing that's 
connected to the driven element ... lengths are in any Handbook or 
Antenna Handbook for many years .. formulae are quite simple.
