The LPDA he is showing is for UHF signals. All of that is explained on Lumenlabs site. The elements (horizontal pieces) do alternate so that the back element is being fed from each side of the 300ohm > 75ohm balun. then the next element in is fed by opposite sides of the balun. here are the specs of the antenna like the one above.
cuts:
2 x 18″
2 x 7.5″
2 x 6.125″
2 x 5″
2 x 4.125″
2 x 3.5″
2 x 2.75″
2 x 2.25″

spacing from smallest elements (front of antenna) to rear:
.25″
4.5″
8.25″
11.25″
13.75″
15.75″
17.5″

so you have
.25″ space
1st element
4.5″ space
2nd element and so on.
create a login for lumenlabs and then go here to see the measurements then a few more posts up to see his antenna.

Use graphite paint (EZ-Slide) to paint an antenna on any surface. Use graphite glue (Google wire glue) to secure your leads.

I’m glad your car is up and running. It’s always great to have an honest mechanic friend.

Earlier today I took in a battery to be tested at Kragen Auto parts store located at 51339 Harrison Hwy 86 Coachella, CA 92236.

I was told by the staff on duty that the battery was dead and needed replacement. I purchased a NEW battery for a little over $100. I left another battery for discount. I brought the NEW battery home and installed it to have the same problem. I took the OLD battery to be tested at another location and was told the OLD battery was fine and did not need replacement.

I called the Kragen store back to only have the manager on duty be sarcastic and rude.

I am a high school teacher in the area and do not appreciate the level of customer service and unfortanately I will have to let my friends and colleagues know not to shop at that store.

How often do you think they are selling products that don’t need replacement? This is horrible.
