[NLRS] Directive Systems Antennas

[WA2VOI, Donn]

'Morning, Mike.

I will second Jon's endorsement... DS makes good antennas.  Above 450, most people 
consider them the gold standard.

At VHF, I think (personal opinion) that only M^2 Antennas are better.  Also pricier.  They 
use the K1FO-design, which IS the gold standard for yagis in VHF/UHF.

All that said, and seeing your reply to Jon... Maybe I have a deal for you !

I have an M^2 2M12 that I have never used.  Well, once... to measure it on the CSVHFS 
range.  Came within a 0.1 dB or so of spec.  It IS a bit weather-beaten as its been stored 
under the deck for years but should be fine other than that.  If you are interested, I'll 
give you a good price.  ($325 new, as a kit.  It is the K1FO design.)  19.5' boom, 12 
elements.

In any case, nice to see you getting onto 2m !!
