These antennas are easy to construct and there is no \nmatching section to fiddle with. You can also construct a pair offset on \none boom for RHCP or LHCP, even switchable just like any other satellite \nyagi but then you have to start dealing with phasing harnesses. I don't \nhave an SWR analyzer for that task so I've just got 11 elements and 4 \nelements vertically polarized on 70cm and 2 meters respectively. They \nworked quite well when I had a rig! I'm trying now to find one I can \nafford so I can get back in the game. I miss it!\n73,\nMichael, W4HIJ\nJames Duffey wrote:\n> The Cheap Yagis by WA5VJB work great and are easy to make:\n>\n> < http://wa5vjb.com/yagi-pdf/cheapyagi.pdf >\n>\n> < http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf >\n>\n> Precise measurements of element length at 432 are important.
