OTOH, they're Pringles cans - i.e., mylar- or aluminum-coated cardboard. If you want something a bit more substantial, check out http://www.cantenna.com. For $20 bucks, it's a better bargain than growing your own... It certainly looks well-constructed, but I'd have a lot more confidence in Cantenna's products if they had measured (or even simulated) radiation patterns and calculations. They also don't mention their feed arrangement which could make a huge difference in actual performance. ---Joel Kolstad A home made yagi might fill the bill. Try one of these http://www.geocities.com/gimmickmo/w...nna/brassyagi/ http://www.users.bigpond.com/darren....enna_for_2.htm http://www.andrewhakman.dhs.org/yagi/ There are many others. I had some success with one. vy 73 Andy, M1EBV |
