Now mount parts 5 and 7 on part 6. I used a pair of bolts for both pieces to keep parts 5 and 7 perpendicular to 6. The ARRL antenna book recommends parts 5 and 7 be separated by about 0.2 wavelengths.
Shorter separation results in more antenna gain at the sacrifice of a lower feedpoint impeadance.
Next, strip one end of the coax and solder the ground conductor to the inside end of the telescoping replacement antenna on part 7 and the center conductor to the inside end of the other antenna. This completes construction of the 2-element Yagi. I screwed a stud into the dowel on mine and then drilled a hole near the center of part 6 above and used a wing nut to mount the antenna on the dowel. I sharpened one end of the dowel which allows me to stick it into the ground with easy at my transmitting site. Fmhz Now, set both driven elements to the length indicated above.
