Some years ago I used the design by Jim Lawson, W2PV (who wrote a book on
yagi antenna designs) extending the boom to something around 40ft. as I
recall. This was a 'bit long' for 2" boom and I suffered some failures. I
originally wanted to stack them along and atop on a 160ft tower but used
extended 204ba antennas instead. However, there has no doubt been much
printed about the 205ba as it was such a good antenna by itself. Good luck
and let us know what you decide to do. -Mike

Subject: [TowerTalk] Hy-Gain 205BA
I have bought a brand new Hy-Gain 205BA which had been sitting in a garage
for the last years. It is packed as it was shipped.
Has someone on this list tried to optimize it and/or upgrade it to a 6
elements yagi? I'm willing to extend the boom length to accommodate the 4th
director.
Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
