Hi Ivan,

My dimensions are rough but the primary centre dimension of the centre square is 865mm. Essentially each aluminium tube is 840mm in length with Capral joiners which measure at 25mm. The outside shield is restricted only by preference but I made the outside shield extend to at approx 410mm. I am thinking I would have gone a bit further but knew it would fit in the garage if i extended it bit further.

In time I will try to itemise each joiner and some special connection I use so that I can quickly disassemble and reassemble.

This one factor I incorporated as I like to take the antenna with me to DSO evenings. Currently the main antenna need to be fixed to the roof but I don't have a roof rack (yet).

I will post more information as it comes to me.
