[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain 205BA

Some years ago I used the design by Jim Lawson, W2PV (who wrote a book on 
yagi antenna designs) extending the boom to something around 40ft. as I 
recall. This was a 'bit long' for 2" boom and I suffered some failures.  I 
originally wanted to stack them along and atop on a 160ft tower but used 
extended 204ba antennas instead. However, there has no doubt been much 
printed about the 205ba as it was such a good antenna by itself. Good luck 
and let us know what you decide to do. -Mike

I have bought a brand new Hy-Gain 205BA which had been sitting in a garage 
for the last years. It is packed as it was shipped.

Has someone on this list tried to optimize it and/or upgrade it to a 6 
elements yagi? I'm willing to extend the boom length to accommodate the 4th 
director.

Your comments and thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
