At LRS we have a long  Yagi for 23 cms, 
Approx abt 5 metre or longer.
Think its WILMO or possibly Tonna
Conventional elements ie not JVL loop.
Elements are made from enamelled copper wire.

Although maybe OK for Portable use the antenna has failed twice where the boom joints are connected.
Easily mended but for how long?

Basically its not robust enough for mounting at a respectable Height bearing mind the open aspects @ LRS. 
Wondering perhaps sell it and thinking of something more modest.

Anyone got experience or recommend a suitable alternative.?
Robustness rather than performance !
Maybe something we can use with a TV type rotatorrather than tying upthe spare heavy duty rotator.

Anyone want to buy it for /P
