Justin, I read with interest about your design for a 5 element 6M LFA Yagi. One detail missing from your published design is if the reflector and director...
The grounding to boom vs not grounded also has an impact on lightning management, doesn't it? That's a major variable here in central Florida, in addition to...
Yes, and that's why I'm interested in a design with grounded elements... We have quite a large number of electrical storms here on the coast in South Carolina...

... Far from "not getting the most", you're slitting your own throat trying to work 6M SSB DX with a vertical. Polarization is much more critical on the higher...
