Roy?
There were 10 elements.  One quad DE, one quad reflector, and 8 directors.
You had *more* with only *4* directors?
More what?

I've not seen a current version of -that- publication in a while!

How far were they spaced, half wave?
Got the formula for figuring up phasing lines for V/UHF "stacked" antennas?
