See attached. It is indeed not hard, but do yo know how good the final design is? Have you done the testing to validate that the designs works to spec? Do you know how to do all of that? Maybe you do -- good for you. But does the person you are encouraging to make their own ELT antenna able to do all of that? The ELT is one of those things that you hope you never need to use, but when you do need to use it, you are REALLY counting on it to work and work well. Being in that situation is not the time to find out that your own design maybe did not quite work like you had hoped it would. Regards, Hamid
