[Xastir] Viewing real-time Aircraft and Ships w/Xastir

[Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate]

I've tried making coaxial collinears before, both with and without a wooden
jig. If your OM's been successful, my hat's off to him. Getting the
elements correct is a PAIN.

12 elements should be sensitive; should also be around 8-10 dB gain vice a
quarter-wave ground plane!
