Overview
Switching network is an open-source printed circuit board by SmittyHalibut, from the SmittyHalibut/DoubleDeltaSlotAntenna repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 228.6 × 152.4 mm with 49 parts on 110 nets, routed with 442 tracks and 6 vias.
It is built around the R-783.3-0.5 and ULN2803A. Its parts include 19 connectors, 12 switches, 8 capacitors, 5 ICs and 3 inductors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

This is my directory of stuff. Let's see, I've got an OpenSCAD model for the top bracket, I've got some drawings of the switching network I made, I've got the raw NanoVNA data I collected... I might have other stuff too, look at README.md files inside the directories.
- Notes and files for my BayCon 2021 presentation
- Raw data, and analysis of data, from NanoVNA Saver of my build of this antenna.

Questions
How big is the Switching network PCB?
It measures 228.6 × 152.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Switching network use?
49 parts, built around the R-783.3-0.5 and ULN2803A. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Switching network KiCad files?
From the SmittyHalibut/DoubleDeltaSlotAntenna repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Antenna Base Switching Network/switching-network/switching-network.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Switching network design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SmittyHalibut before reusing the design.
