Buddy - Wimo will make them. I'm not sure if they will ship them
individually or whether I have to. Right now I'm just trying to find out if
there is enough interest to proceed. Right now I've had interest in 3
wheels.73,Chris Patterson W3CMP Sent from my Galaxy

Big Wheel Interest.
I can make that work. I currently have a M2 loop, side mounted, on my
tower. I will sign up. Have you thought about getting them made, here in the
United States? Maybe Terry at Directive Systems would be interested?Buddy WB4OMG

Bubby: Diameter of the 2 meter Big Wheel is 3.7 ft; the
diameter of the 432MHz Big Wheel is is about 13.5". Stacking distance is 5/8
w/l. Extrapolating the two diameters I would expect the diameter of a
222MHz Big Wheel to be about 26". The benefit of a Big Wheel over a loop is
that the Wheel has more gain than a loop, just about dBd. A loop has less gain
than a dipole because it is a dipole folded into a square shape.73, Chris
