I'm a newbie in HAM and would like to build my own 430mhz 3 elements Yagi
but don't have enough information. Although I have the ARRL Handbook and
ARRL Antenna book. But, I do have some questions about that.



1. Detail information about the hairpin. match (i.e. length, the distance
between the 2 legs and the location to solder)



2. The feedline should be even or odd 1/4 wavelength?



3. When solder the feedline to the hairpin, what's the location?



4. If I don't have the SWR meter, is it still possible to build the Yagi?



I did the search for a month on the net and newsgroup, but still don't have
any luck to give me the answers. Thanks for any comment in advance!!!

Look at this antenna link. No hairpin match, but I built the 6 element
wide band utility yagi with excellent results.

And here is a link to some hairpin match info.

Might as well got to the index, Cebik has lots of good stuff at his
site.
