I think it is rather telling in this single phrase...
The center of the antenna started life as 2 mirror mount CB antenna
Now, I don't know about everyone, but I have never had any CB antenna "stuff"
laying around.
Amazing what people think they can do with nothing.

Not many people can build an 18dB front to back 3dB gain
half wave bent dipole that works from 20 meters through six
meters.
Browsing that site is interesting. Everything I've looked at
is actually as bad or worse than that particular antenna .
Heaven help us when all our technology research and exchange
is on Internet.
