The text could use some heavy editing. The black X in the graphic are the cross braces, the Y dim is their length.The feedpoint connections are confusing (especially reading the text.) This morning, it seems to be at the left hand mid-point using 300 ohm twin-lead, extending to the mid point of the square. There, a 90 deg bend downwards to the equipment inputs. That would make a portion of the 300 twin-lead a part of the antenna; AFAIK.
It would be a snap to form this up out of #2AWG bare copper. I also like the sizes for broadband and lowband focus.
(Not the author; I just stumbled across it.)
