A three director Yagi for CH-6

Here is a design generated using software by VK5DJ.

I've built a few antennas based on this software and found them satisfactory. I have not built this particular design though.

You can use just the dipole alone or omit one or more directors if you wish. The balun design is optional, you can substitute a store bought 300/75 ohm balun.

Though the measurements are metric, I chose values that are close to imperial. The boom works out to about 8 feet of 1 inch square tube and the elements can be 3/8" to 1/2" diameter. (1 inch = 25.4 mm)
