[VHFcontesting] 1.2 yagi

[Patrick Barthelow]

If you build a homebrew yagi at 1296, from simple materials,  Al welding
rod, or copper #12 guage,  and a wooden boom, perhaps a hardwood meter
stick, what is the most touchy dimension or other aspect of the build that
you have to get just right to achieve max gain?   What component,
establishes a max power rating of say, 100 watts, vs a desired KW max
power?
