Thanks Steve, that is something I hadn't considered.  Again, like I
said in the original post I have the Cushcraft A270-10S.  Its 5 el on
each band which for 144 that's OK but would like to get a little more
HP out on 432.

Since I am in the planning stages I am looking for other options and
ideas and getting it out in a discussion group seems the best.  Maybe
building Kent's yagi's might be the way to go for now.  And I agree
Marshall, PVC is IMHO superior to wood for the boom.

Oh and the gain on the KMA was about 11dBi on about a 12' boom.  Again
not great but respectable and you had three bands on one boom.  I
believe it was designed by KE3HT and KMA built it for him.
