I drew this document with info obtained from G0KSC's website: www.g0ksc.co.uk
Where to get the parts:
Stauff Clamps
Green plastic clamps: https://www.pipelineproductsdirect.com/p-24162-2127-pp.aspx
Aluminium clamp to ground the loop: https://www.pipelineproductsdirect.com/p-23238-2127-al.aspx
Metal for Boom and Elements:
You'll need 1 x 5m length of 1.25 Inch square tube for the boom
2 x 5m lengths of 1/2 inch round tube for the elements (10m in total)
1:1 Balun:

Plastic elements ends and boom cap to neaten the job:

THIS ANTENNA IS ONE LENGTH, YOU COULD SPLIT IT IN TWO SECTIONS AND WOULD THEN REQUIRE A BOOM JOINER WHICH G0KSC ALSO STOCKS HERE
I felt this method had closer spacing of the coax legs (balun) and more purchase on the element
I originally chose this method but I felt there wasn't enough aluminium being held by the stauff clamp. If i build again I will use this method as its neater
Dipole centre conductor is made from a piece of plastic kitchen chopping board!
By careful adjustment of the driven element 'trombones' you can tweak the SWR to your preferred frequency
Note: To get best SWR results during testing its best to install the antenna with the boom pointing to the sky and raised off the floor by a foot or so.
Its pretty big!
