Tam's totaly correct in that. I tried it, only to find that a three

meters.

There was something wrong with that yagi then... Seriously..


That, and your modulation drops out the bottom for some reason
too. 5 elements or more. Fewer elements is just a wast of your time,
effort, and money.

A 3 el NBS yagi gives appx 9.4 dbi gain. How is that a waste of time
effort or money? The difference between a good 3 el, and a good 5 el
are not all that large. I have a 3 el yagi for FM mounted vertical. I
hear
stuff on that thing that doesn't exist on a vertical.
This is not to say more elements are not worth the trouble. They
usually
are. But if you have a 3 el that gets smoked by a lousy J-pole,
Houston , we have a problem.
