Recently, there has been quite a bit of interest around the world in 6m EME and
larger antennas for that band. YU7EF has recognized the interest and has added
element lengths for 1/2" diameter tubing to the metric options shown for his popular
10 element yagi:

You will note that the 10mm diameter tubing size is already very close to our
standard 3/8" tubing size. Of course, if you are really serious about making it bomb
proof, you could use solid elements like ON4KST did:

As far as I can tell, they seem to work very well...I have worked UN8GC, ON4KST and
HL4GHT on 6m EME, all of whom were using that yagi. I also am aware of two other
stations currently building 4 yagi arrays with these. Pop has offered to provide
additional photos and suggestions to anyone who has further questions about
construction of these proven antennas.
