2M (70cm) Collinear antenna

Well, I still have not checked my antenna (2M) with an analyzer as of yet, but I have built another one. The Collinear 2M 70cm seems to be working very well. I can hit the 2m and 440 Mhz Smith peak repeater about 90 miles away. The antenna is only about 8/9' off the ground and in prototype stage. I believe once I get it setup permanent it will be a very good performer. More to follow.
 Above is the first version mounted in the backyard...
