Time to (finally) build the Log Periodic Antennas for the home QTH.
The big one is a Tennadyne T12.30-10HD – a twelve element 30 to 10 meter version.
Here is photo borrowed from the manufacturer’s website of a T12 on a tower (mine is going on a Skyneedle):

Assembling has taken several after work sessions. Here are some photos:
Boom parts as unboxed
Lots of Element parts
Markings (very easy to follow)
Markings on joining splices, which fit like a champ
Assembled Boom Sections before joining process
Boom Halves prior to rotating right hand one to create the element interleave
I have some help lined up to rotate the one half, and it will take another healthy session to put the halves together, wire it and do as much pre-assembly of the elements as I can do inside away from the mosquitoes.
The I will need some help to walk the boom out to the tower area and installing the elements.
And the T-28HD 6m to 1.3 gHz small log needs to be assembled.
