a) AWG12 Copper Wire: On Ch3, Raw Gain = 9.6 to 11.2 on Ch3, F/B & F/R Minimum = 14.0 dB and SWR (300-ohms) Under 1.6. Boom Length = 205.7-in.
b) Quarter Inch Copper Tubing (QICT) or Braided-Shield in RG-59 Coax (insulation can be left on). On Ch3, Raw Gain = 9.6 to 11.2, F/B & F/R Minimum = 14.5 dB and SWR (300-ohms) Under 2.2. Boom Length = 199.7-in.
