[TowerTalk] 40 metres yagi - Your advice matters

[Stan Stockton]

Luciano,

I would recommend you buy the tubing and build whatever you want. 

I doubt where you are located you need the additional front to back and bandwidth that the 4 element OWA will provide over a 3 element Yagi.  The gain will be about the same.

If the tower or rotator isn't good enough for a full sized Yagi, build a W6NL style Moxon.  It will be inexpensive and work as well or better than any of the commercial 2 element designs.  

73... Stan, K5GO

Would you consider a linear loaded one like M2 40M4LLDD or would you go for the full sized one such as the JK404 Grande from JK Antennas? Cost benefit is of utmost importance as the Brazilian Real x American Dollar rate doubled in the last months.
