Dick, I have an assembled but on the ground 7 elem LFA I purchased 2 years ago from England, maybe we can work out a deal. It has never been installed and sitting on the ground. Where do you live? Feel free to replay direct w8bya at mchsi dot com

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

My old Cushcraft A50-5S has done a fair job over the past 30 years but it just lost an element and needs other repairs too so 
I'm thinking of replacing it with an antenna that has a little more gain.  The maximum boom length I'm considering is 
24'. What are your thoughts about the following 6-meter Yagi's: ---M2 6M5XHB: 5-elements on a 18' Boom but I'm not 
excited about it's hefty price of $610 nor it's single U-Bolt element to boom attachment.   ---Hy-Gain VB-66DX: 
6-element on a 24' Boom with a price of $300.  Question: does this antenna require the Boom to be guyed? What's your 
favorite 6-Meter Yagi? Thanks & 73, Dick- K9OM
