The Par also matches on 60m and 30m via the auto-ATU.

This means I am decently equipped for the bands I am mainly interested in. The dual band yagi is small and cannot easily be seen from the front of the house. The most I run is 5W pep, although I use 2W mostly and just 5mW ERP on 472kHz. 2W is more than enough to be copied all around the planet on 40m, 20m and 10m.

Hi Roger, pleased to see your getting better. What model of yagi is it? How high? Is it rotatable?

Simon, M3HXE,
The 5el UHF and 3el VHF are on the same boom and fed with 1 cable with low SWR. Antenna seems to work as expected. Height of antenna above ground is about 6m and ground is about 20m ASL. Antenna pole is hand rotated out of the window next to the shack. Seem to be able to peak beacons OK. Antenna not too sharp so this method is fine and quick.
