M2 makes a 35 element 1296 MHz yagi, on about a 6' boom. individual elements are insulated "thru the boom" with keepers. Folded dipole driven element. I used 2 each stacked vertically for AO-40. Yes, they are pointy.

Greg, I would keep the one that works the best. I have been disappointed in the performance of long boom Yagi's for UHF. Resistance loss in the elements often reduces the gain by several dB over calculated gain. Also they are very narrow band, the helix is good for an octave. Art, KC6UQH --
