Rebuilding the Archer Antenna.^3h

My Archer antenna was a bit too floppy, so I tried to fix it.

The way I tried to fix it was to replace the rivets. I drilled out the pull rivets it was assembled with and replaced them with AN470AD3 rivets. However, because the antenna is made from a very thin material, and the rivets are "hard" rivets ("AD"), it caused even more distortion.

Therefore, also for education purposes, I rebuilt the antenna using the "feed" parts. While doing that, I also dropped the base leg and replaced it with an angle. Also, I replaced the material with 0.025", which is a bit thicker. I changed the radiating arm so that it extends a bit more into the wingtip and also follows the outer edge of it. Will see if it actually fits into the wingtip.

I analyzed it with nanoVNA, and got SWR to be below 1.5 in the 108Mhz to 118Mhz (VOR range). It's not perfectly matched, but good enough for now.
