[VHFcontesting] US Antenna Manufacturer

[Walter Carrington]

Dave, WERU still has a link to Directive Systems on their website. They 
also have plans for a homebrew 6 element yagi on a 13' wooden boom. 
Since it is based on a 1956 Popular Science design, I suspect a more 
modern design would do better. They actually have a decent article on 
improving reception.

     I'll be listening to it in 2 weeks on vacation on an island off 
Deer Isle, ME. It's only about 25 miles, so I probably won't need a yagi.

Directive Systems used to make a pretty FB FM broadcast antenna just for
FM DXing and serious audiophiles. It was an 8 element dual driven yagi
on a 16 ft boom, optimized for 88-92 MHz. All of the "listenable"
stations were located at the bottom of the band and that was the focus
for the audiophiles.? My dentist was a serious FM listener and he was
complaining to me while drilling one of my teeth, that he could not pull
in WERU, in his favorite station from Blue Hill, Maine.
