[Elecraft] KX3 kit shipping estimate

[Niel Skousen]

I took a minute to look at the links, and I think the 6m yagi would have some problems with droop and the elements folding, BUT Don's idea has a lot of merit.    

I think a 6m Halo's (round and square) could be very nicely done with a tape-measure & pvc construction.   Also, a Moxon beam might be nicely done with very light weight supports and tape measure / wire / pvc construction…

Very excited as this will be my biz travel radio. Now need to find a good super ultra penultimatr portable Yagi for 6m that can fit in a standard pelican case.  Any ideas?
