Well, ogWifi is just borrowing it to see if it solves a customers
problem. He wants to fire out into a park, but its through heavy
foliage. It is a converted satellite parabolic dish antenna. I am very
interested in seeing what the conversion looks like and see its
performance. I picked up a discarded dish with mount in beautiful
condition from somebody's garbage about 2 weeks ago with the thoughts
of converting it to wifi.

I saw the plans for a helix online. It looks pretty straightforward
except for the impedance matching vane. That seemed like black magic
to me. Do you have instruments for testing it once your are done, like
a VSWR meter?
