[Antennas] UHF yagi driven element

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

It has been suggested that this may be a way to construct a balun or pawsey stub. I think this may be the case here.

> There is a utility data yagi on 458.5MHz in which the driven element is 1/2 non insulated from boom and the other 1/2 is insulated. The coax is hooked to the end of the boom just behind the reflector straight in. Does anyone have any details of this type of feed? I assume the non insulated half is connected to the center conductor.
