Screw going through the hole fastened
the plastic to traverse. Halves of the vibrator fastened to the
plastic with help of plastic ties. Reflector electrically connected
to the boom through a screw that is going through the reflector
and the centre of the plastic insulator. (However, it would be
better for antenna performance to isolate the reflector from the
traverse.)
Vibrator made of aluminum, so, it needs to install
at feeding terminal of the vibrator (with help of screw) solder
lugs. Coaxial cable is soldered to the solder lugs. Traverse could
be made from any strength stuff- for example ever wood could be
used.

That is all. Antenna is very simple and reliable. I
install the antenna at distance 1.5-meter from a wall. There were
made lots local and DX-QSO (FM-MODE) at 5-Wtts power. If you will
have made the antenna, your comments are welcome to my e-mail.
