Hi Dave.

This is the part about amateurradio that I love. If it isn't readily available in the quality that you like, then why not just build it yourself.

I have had very good results with the designs from this page. http://dk7zb.fox28.de/start1.htm Don't worry about the german page, he's writing in english also. He has many designs for many bands, and also include a small notice about making a x-yagi.

Most of the materials are readily available, and you can make the antenna at home, by your kitchen table.It's that simple.

Regards Martin, OZ1TMM

I've looked about and see two manufacturers for x-yagi's -M2 and Moonraker. Are there any others folks would recommend? I see lots of negative comments on blogs about the standoffishness of M2 and I can agree he is curt to a fine point.

Suggestions welcome.
