[SCCC] HY-GAIN 204BA-S Yagi Manual Needed

[Milton Garb]

Just sitting here deja vu'ing a bit...
I took a pair of 204BA's, and reconfigured them to make 3 el. yagi's using 
the W2PV dimensions.
If I remember correctly, I had to add tubing to the reflectors to make them 
longer.
The W2PV designed stack worked better than the stack of standard 204 BA's.
Again, from memory, I think is was making all elements 3 - 5% longer, with 
equal element spacing.
Of course that was back when 204BA's were $239.
Milt.
