You can find info to construct a 3-element hamstick beam from VE6VK's
web page http://www.eng.mu.edu/~usi/hamstick.html
A local ham reproduced the same beam with very impressive on-air test
results. A photo of his installed hamstick beam can be found under the
"Limited Space/Portable Antennas" section from web page:

>Gentlemen,
>Not sure if you all have had the pleasure of viewing the web site with
the
>fellow who built a mini size 3 element 20 meter yagi using HamSticks
mobile
>whips as the elements. I'll try to locate the address for you all. I
found
>it by searching under altavista and entered "HamStick".
>
>Was wondering if any of you have experience with these little gems.
>Supposedly rated at 600 watts, around 7 feet long, and built very well.
I am
>considering putting up a few on the roof to see how they work as
>temporary/portable verticals. I already have the ground plane laid down
on
>the roof for my full suze 40 meter 1/4 wave vertical that is up there
now. I
>was thinking about doing A/B checks using the same ground screen for
both
>antennas and using a remote switch to select the antennas for
comparison.
>
>Was wondering if there has been any research done concerning the
efficiency
>of these various brands of mobile antennas.
