<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are really movin' right along with this. Also

frequency and see what happens.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Got the 222 homebrew 10 element on 10' yagi up
today in the vertical position.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Designed on Yagimax, constructed (12 or more
years ago) with thin steel rods (very much like coat hangers, just
a little stiffer) and on a lightweight (warped) wooden boom.
Direct fed to two 7/16" aluminum tubes with small 3/8' adjusters
sleeved in the ends and supported at center by a 6" piece of 3/8'
fiberglass stolen from a "Firestick". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mounted to the crossboom of the pair of 3's for
6 meters on the center tower.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>SWR flat throughout the FM portion, all signals
look good so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone has Charlie's (KA1A) e-mail, please
forward this....as I have lost his address somehow......</FONT></DIV>

the house:</FONT></DIV>
