The backscreen is composed of 1.5 λ long wires that are parallel to the elements. These wires extend "λ"/4 above and below the driven elements. The wire convenient construction techniques can be used. Aluminum ground wire or bare (or insulated) house wire are suitable material. Each backscreen wire is spaced 0.05 λ, about 4 inches for 2 meters, from the next. Alternately, agricultural mesh (chicken wire) can be used if its wire spacing is similar or smaller and its crossings are welded or soldered. Chicken wire should be suspended on an appropriate wood or aluminum support frame that can have attachments for the element supports.
