[50mhz] Yagis

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

Mark,

If cost is a significant factor in your decision, you might consider 
modifying your A50-5S yagi according to my design. It will cost you about 
$20 max. It has been done by scores of amateurs with good success. The 
computer-modeled design will give you a yagi very similar in appearance and 
performance to the M2 6M5X. All you have to buy or otherwise procure is a 
6-ft length of 1-1/2" x 0.058" wall aluminum tubing to extend the boom and a 
couple of hose clamps. Everything else is just changing design dimensions 
and readjusting the gamma match.

You can find the paper here:

I don't know who this Korean site is, or how my paper got on it, but... 
there it is. :-)
