ok i am kinda the believer that thinks after 5 to 6 quad elem. it gives no further gain ro add elements. so i want to build a "quagi" for 11m. i have the 2 elements (reflector and driver ) made. used SE lightening as a pattern for my feed. copied it from our L6. the spacing of these 2 are 84 inches apart. only reason for that is the L4 spacing starts that way. these can be adjusted if needed. i know the layout on L6 is not the same. the question is how would one space the YAGI elements down the boom?. do i treat this as a quad and space them the same or treat it as a yagi and stretch them out as i go down the boom? boom is 3 in so maybe 9-10 total elements. we are after more forward gain. not wide pattern or band width.
we now run a 7 elem direct feed horz. yagi. followed the footprint of a maco. only thing we did different was space the last couple directors out to gather more forward gain.
in the pics the mount for the mass is a temp just to work off of. not the final resting place obviously.
we are open to any suggestions
