Hi again!

Well, the eggbeater antenna has been complete for two weeks now (minus
the amp), and so far, the results have been less than optimal.

I think part of the problem is the shape of the antenna.  I think I
used the wrong kind of wire.  It is 16 gauge and copper, but it is in
strands.

Therefore, making two circles of of them was next to impossible.

They look like messy, deformed circles.

Could this be part of the reason for the lackluster performance?

Thanks!
