Hi Greg:
Yes it would..These will use the physical offset fed without the delay section. My problem was getting my arms around the polarity direction--RH or LH. I have it figured out now so I'm finishing up the assembly.
Thanks Curt

Hi Curt,
For CP you would either have the elements offset and feed them in-phase, or have them not offset and feed them with the phase delay. You want to create a spin to the wave as it travels down the boom. I expect doing both would make a mess out of things.

Good Morning All:
I've been using a 10el version of Kent Britain's Cheap yagi for my 70cm downlink antenna. It suffers from deep fades so I am going to add the second yagi with physical offset to get to RHCP in the x config.
Question is:
normally I would reverse the coax connections to a dipole driver but this is a hairpin (half of a folded dipole. )
Do I reverse the connections as normal? Kents instructions just say offset the elements and feed in phase.
Thanks
