[TowerTalk] Assembling a Yagi

[Jim W7RY]

Most hygain antennas use a predetermined length of tubing at each 
element. The measurements are usually  just for the joints after the 
first piece of aluminum that is hooked to the boom.

But, this TH-6 diagram shows the lengths of the pieces against the boom.

What do the instructions show?
