[VHFcontesting] Inexpensive 222 Yagi (Re: 222 Sprint

[Ron Klimas WZ1V]

I built one of these for 2M for a ham neighbor. 
The half-folded dipole design provides a 
perfect match direct feed to 50 Ohm coax, 
no balun required - simplicity itself. 
Lowes Home centers carry AWG 6 
bare copper wire by the foot which is 
what I used for the driven element.

> Another option would be to build one.  There are some pretty simple to 
reproduce designs out there now.  WA5VJB's "Cheap Yagis" are legendary - 
see http://www.wa5vjb.com/yagi-pdf/cheapyagi.pdf . I've got a couple of 
designs at http://www.qsl.net/ve3sma/222MHzYagisWithDirect50ohmFeed.ppt .
