today in the vertical position.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 size=2 face=Arial>Mounted to the crossboom of the pair of 3's for 6
meters on the center tower.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>SWR flat throughout the FM portion, all signals
look good so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
