[NLRS] Soldering elements for loop yagi

[KB0NLY]

I made a loop yagi for WIFI use that way, but I drilled small holes into the 
boom and inserted the loops through the boom to give some extra support and 
then soldered.

Still holding up as far as I know, I made it for someone else to use.

73,

Scott
