I certainly like my 7 element LFA.  I replaced a like sized M2 with it.  - Mike, K4CVL

Dick, I have an assembled but on the ground 7 elem LFA I purchased 2 
years ago from England, maybe we can work out a deal. It has never been 
installed and sitting on the ground. Where do you live? Feel free to

The maximum boom length I'm considering is 24'. What are your thoughts about the following 6-meter Yagi's: ---M2 6M5XHB: 5-elements on a 18' Boom but I'm not excited about it's hefty price of $610 nor it's single U-Bolt element to boom attachment.   ---Hy-Gain VB-66DX: 6-element on a 24' Boom with a price of $300.  Question: does this antenna require the Boom to be guyed? What's your favorite 6-Meter Yagi? Thanks & 73, Dick- K9OM
