I made the element (the long part) in the same plane as the other elements. I figure the short part is the matching section.

I am working on some a couple of the "Cheap" antennas by WA5VJB, that have been talked about on here. I am building these for Field Day and th use for some moble work on AO-51 & AO-27 after that. My question is this, Is the "J" /DE element centered in line with the others or is just the long side in line?
Hi Marv - See the link below. The element is centered at the point midway between the free end and the most outward part of the bend where the matching length heads back toward the feedpoint.
