Glad to hear DEM has them - Norm is great with delivery too.

Got a stack here too - quite pleased with them! - 73 - jeff wk6i

ps: There are dimensions for an easy and very effective 2-element 6m yagi in The Magic Band book by WB2AMU, but my copy has gone astray - hopefully someone can find that and post them. I built one from PVC and four telescoping whips - but I would probably just use aluminum now.
