[SixClub] 3 or 4 elements

[Doug Huchteman]

IMHO, if you can swing it go with a 5 element yagi.  I prefer the M2 6M5X, but I understand that a log of ops like the Cushcraft 5 element yagi also.  

I've also used the 3 element M2 (6ME) with good results.  Still have it up (at 30 feet) and use it to minimize turning time when I'm the landing pad for the first bounce on Ecoast / Wcoast double hop openings.  I'm thinking of stacking two 6M3's to up the gain and supress the upper lobe some.

Just read Dales post regarding the Log Periodic.  To cover both 50.110 / 50.125 and 52.525 you'll need one of these or a tuner.  I think about 1 Mhz bandwidth is about all you can expect from a yagi on 6 (both of mine have much less).
