LPA Series - 141-149 MHz (2m + MARS/CAP)
USE:  Amateur Band 2m and MARS/CAP Frequencies
Note: See ARRL Antenna Handbook under LPA construction
Tau = 0.965
Sigma = 0.181
B = 1.0567
COT alpha = 20.686
BAR = 1.295
Bs = 1.368
Lambda max = 6.9787-ft
Lb = [0.25(1-(1/Bs))COT alpha)Lambda max] = 9.71-ft
N = 1 + (log Bs / log (1/Tau)) = 10
The following are in inches,two of each required (L)

 L1 = 21.84               d1,2 = 15.163
 L2 = 21.10               d2,3 = 14.632

L10 = 16.09
Zt =10.468  Sigma' = Sigma/sqrt Tau = 0.18425
Ro = 50
Zav = 265.66
Zo = Ro^2/(8(Sigma'(Zav))) + Ro(Sqrt(Ro/(8(Sigma'(Zav))) + 1) = 57.0428
Gain = 10.5 dBi
S can be calculated from the ARRL Antenna Handbook, but is 0.804 for
0.25-in elements and 1-in booms.
 Next is the 6m LPA.  Element attachment will be after the 6m posting.
 SEE BELOW!!!!
*************************************************************
*    NOTE: The boom on all these LPAs is 1-inch diameter.   *
*    All elements have a 0.9-in adjustment in the length    *
*    to compensate.  Sorry about that.  The Freq file will  *
*    have the proper statement put in.                      *
