Hi all,
I should not say this, but I build a full size 80m Quad with 53' spreaders. Two
are in service at this time. I also build a LL smaller 80m Quad with 38'
spreaders. For info see ON4UN's book. To my knowledge Mike at M2 antennas might
be able to help on a Yagi.  Sorry Bill for this commercial.
