[SixClub] Hy-Gain VB-64DX Antenna

[W5KDJ]

I had no problem with the manual.  The beam seems to 
perform as indicated and I have no reflected power.  The 
bandwidth is wider than the manual specs.  My ant is at 
25 feet and about 5' from a Mosley Pro57 which is at 24' 
cranked down.  There is a little reaction between the 
two when I point the 64 at the Pro but I will live with 
that.  I measured the element lengths (CW) from the 
center of the boom to end of elements.  The spacing 
between elements measured from OD of element To OD of 
ajacent element.
