I don't know whether I've got the know-how or the time to design a homebrew
VHF yagi for the marine band.

So, is anyone out there interested in providing a service to all marine band
DXers/eavesdroppers of designing and producing *full constructional notes*
on a range of marine antennas, and then putting the designs up on a website.

All antennas shall principally be for reception.

All antennas should be described as covering 156-162Mhz.

As far as the yagis are concerned, they should range from 2 to 6 elements.

All yagis shall have 4mm (or 3/16") diameter parasitic elements.

All parasitic elements shall be secured to boom by nylon rivets as per
G3SEK's notes at:
http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/diy-yagi/#Construction

All booms shall consist of either 20mm or 15mm square tubing.

The DE for all yagis shall be 8mm (or 5/16").

The DE for all yagis shall be a regular hertz dipole.

There shall be some kind of balun.

Please, please!
