Hi Again,

I took some pictures and details of the one I use now.  It just has the 
voltage side and needs no etching.  If you have the parts you can make it 
in a 1/2 hour.  Since the front is solid copper instead of "fingers", the 
frequency will not go way up to 100MHz, but who cares ;-)

Use tiny but leaded parts.  Surface mount parts just bust up too 
easy.  This new one is super easy to make and very hard to break.  I use it 
all the time.  It likes 50 ohm coax back to the scope which should be 
terminated at 50 ohms too, but I usually don't worry about that.

Cheers,

        Terry

Hi Colin,

I continue to like the plane wave antenna's very much!!  These days I just 
use a simple but tougher version.  I can post a few pics later.

Cheers,

        Terry
