[50mhz] Yagis: an economical solution that doesn't involve a lot of work.

[N8WWM EN81]

Gang,

Being a cheap SOB, I'd take that Cuscraft 5 element, clean it up real good, and get the tubing to make the boom as long as a 6M5X. You could 
Use the M2 spacings and save a bunch of money to give the XYL for a "mad money" shopping trip. 

Getting a better antenna at low cost AND pleasing the wife isn't a bad proposition at all.
