Take-Down Yagi - The Antenna Shop

As you can maybe tell by the clutter on my assembly bench, I have been busy in my shop building antennas.
After the success that I achieved with my prototype ultralight takedown 2 meter take-down-yagi, I decided to build my first production model if I may call it that.

I did refine it a little from my prototype, as I added a 2nd coupler to the boom as seen in the photo, allowing the antenna boom to breakdown into 3 equal lengths of 9" each. This makes the antenna very compact when taken apart for storage.

As far as performance, well it is as good as the prototype, but then why not, as I had already did the workup and testing on my original.
