Hi Gary, What length of boom would be practical for you?
In Canada I used homebrewed yagis on 6m from 1956 onwards, singles and stacked, which were not difficult to build, and if I still have the construction detail for the 6 el yagis on 24ft booms I could send it to you, if 24ft is not too long for you. I opted to run the elements through the boom rather than use saddles to mount the elements. The ends of the elements should be plugged, otherwise they might and usually do "sing" when the wind blows. Beware of 6m, there is no known cure once you become addicted :-) 73, Geoff GM4ESD (ex VE2AIO etc) Gary Smith KA1J wrote on Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 6:18 AM >I find I have a place for a 6 meter beam.
