I had a request to find the article in my file
archives.  I have returned to (somewhat) normal since
the CQWW and I remembered to look it up.  The article
describes the procedure used by K4VX to gamma match
the boom of a 3 EL 40M yagi to function as a rotary
dipole on 80M.  This is a yagi with full size elements
with a 48 foot boom, BTW.  The info is in CQ magazine,
October 1979, pages 80 & 81 (W6SAI's column).

73, Stew  K3ND
