[TowerTalk] home brewing short yagis

[Rick Bullon]

You check out L.B. Cebik W4RNL web site. He has an article on 3 element 
yagis antennas. I didn't see anything for 6 meters but it will give you 
enough info to home brew your own. This articles are at this URL.

>Hello All,
>
>I have an unusual antenna project in mind and could use some direction.
>
>I'm planning to build a "short yagi" for 6 meters.  I've gone through my
>limited collection of reference books, and haven't found much help.  I have
>several editions of the Handbook, a fairly extensive QST collection, and a
>94 edition of the ARRL Antenna Book.  I've been considering some of the
>Antenna compendium series, is there a particular issue that discusses 
>loaded
>yagis?  I'm sure they are all great, but can't afford to buy the whole
>series.
>
>What I have in mind is a two or three element 6 meter yagi on a 6' boom.  I
>want to keep the element lengths less than 6' overall.  At  6 meters, I
>think this should still produce a reasonably efficient antenna.  I realize
>that most people don't need to reduce the size of a 6 meter yagi, so I 
>don't
>expect to find "cook book" directions.
>
>And while I'm at it, what do you guys think about loading methods?  Anyone
>care to comment on loading coils versus linear loading?
>
>Thanks,
