Re: Five element yagi, up and running It's fantastic Dave and it was working well to me with at least 3dB over the short Sirio.
You were right about "THE LOOK", the boom guys look great, and if they are needed at all then its a serious yagi. I think you'll find with those nice spacings your rotator will get a work out though I expect the 3dB beamwidth is 30-40 degrees'ish so pointing it will require a bit more accuracy.
That is undoubtedly a "big gun" mate, and i'm sure you'll find it'll be worth every bit of the effort.
If you want to run some beam tests let me know i'll plug in the stepped attenuator and get some gain and beamwidth figures for you.
Great job Dave, and inspiring too.
