These antennas will have no metal parts except the active elements and the purpose is to be prepared or the future Lunar and eventually Mars repeaters, but also for own experimentation.

How would a mars repeater work, being that the closest it will ever be is 3 minutes away by way of light speed (each way)? Everybody is a lid when nobody can hear themselves on the downlink. Not sure even a store and forward system would work. And that's even IF we can build a yagi thats short enough to fit in our sub-acre plots (and has enough gain). :D
