Hi Scott,

A took a bunch or pictures at put them at:

If anyone is having trouble getting any of the parts let me know since I 
have most sitting around here.  I certainly have the little surface mount 
parts and they fit nicely in an envelope (Free!).  I don't have an easy way 
to etch PC boards or anything like that.  It's just 1/16th G-10 I had 
laying around.  The etched design is not critical at all.  I was just 
trying to cut down on capacitance between the antenna elements and the back 
plane.  I also did not want to have any circular current loops while trying 
to cover a large area for the array.

Cheers,

         Terry
