Is almost like the old one but you can tune to 26.500 and up to 10 Meters cutting part of the elements
The old one only works from 27.000 and up,the difference is for low band
I set up a new one this morning SWR 1.2 and 53 R at 26.500 with a good 500 Khz up and down bandwith from the center frequency

Yes, I'm cutting for 10. It looked like you left yours at 26.5, which is stock.
Sent an eBay message about the missing hardware. Told me to take a picture of the missing parts.
I suppose I could make a crayon drawing and take a picture of that.

Don't forget a crayon drawing of a pissed off consumer giving a 1 finger wave!
That does suck!!

Looks like they intermingled parts from another antenna. There are 4, 1" ish U-bolts included that obviously aren't part of the antenna. Being stainless, I'll add them to my junkbox. It is a drag. I was going to install it tomorrow. I could get what I need from the local hardware, but I just haven't been going anywhere. I specified exactly what I needed. Just need to wait until they ship.
I have dry fitted everything together. Still deciding on measurements. I'm not going to cut anything. I might take a couple extra days and experiment with different chart lengths. For what this is and the price, I think it was a good buy. Looks like a decently made antenna. The sagging is nice. At least they aren't Cushcraft with rough edges and full of burrs.

Also element spacing should be corrected.

I chose 27.0. It'd be up today if it wasn't missing parts.
In all of the time I used the four element Yagi, I never trimmed it. Never. Ran it right out of the box. Used it on 10m many, many times with the TS-2000 and the built in tuner.
Just build it 'as is' and use a tuner; I know you have a couple of them . . .
