Will recommend if you go for other design that have no need for a matching
device like the gamma, beta , delta, testa or the Hair pin
I got excellent results compared to commercial in production antennas making
my own 6m and 10m yagis with GØKSC designs
Will say that several model of LFA can fit in your boom , OWL or a OWA, direct
feed to 50 ohms and low noise antennas
Check the page and get a new proved design and not one made with a calculator
and with uncertain gain and performance
Give a try

Subject: [TowerTalk] hairpin matches
I recently acquired a 5 el HyGain 10m monobander on a 24' boom. The yagi uses a
hairpin match. The plan is to convert it to 6m. Either a WVO special on 19' of
boom or use the full 24'. Since it's already in place we are considering using
the hairpin. Obvoiusly shorter as the freq is nearly double 10m. My friend
W4HLR will be actually doing the construction.
We would like to hear your experiences with HyGain hairpin matches on
monobanders. Or any monobander. Is there an advantage using a hairpin rather
than gamma or other methods. DX-Eng sells hairpins & say they are better than
gamma, etc.
We're hoping to end up with a heavy duty yagi as the boom & element sizes of
this yagi are bigger & heavier than most 6m yagis.
It will be for next seasons 6m Es. If there is one. Hi! Really was poor this
Summer in NW Tn.
Tnx K9IL
