[50mhz] Radio Shack 6 meter beaem help

[Chris Bouck]

Hey all:
   I am looking for any help finding a manual for a 6 meter antenna I
recently got. Does anyone know of this antenna and or do they have a manual?
I contacted Radio Shack and they were not much help. It is a 3 element beam.
See RS reply below.Please contact me directly at cbouck01@twcny.rr.com
Here is what I wrote (a snip)
I recently picked up a 6 meter beam antenna that was sold by Radio Shack. It
did not have any assembly instructions. I got it new, never used but missing
instructions. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your email, Chris,

Based on the pictures provided, the antenna could be the Cat# 21-933,
3-Element Beam Yagi antenna, which was discoed in 1981. If so, you have
everything that was included with this specific antenna. This antenna uses
the Gamma Matching method.  Unfortunately, support information such as
instructions for this product is no longer available.  You might try the
following link which has basic information as to how Gamma Matching is used:

The antenna could also be the Vectronics VEC-1862 3-Element, 6-meter Yagi
antenna.  This antenna was offered for awhile through RadioShack.com but is
no longer offered by RadioShack.  Unfortunately, we do have instructions for
this antenna nor is information available on their website. All technical
support for this item is provided directly by Vectronics.

To better assist you with future questions, please respond to this
original email with the REPLY option.

Thank you,
Carla
