4el 70cm yagi

Tomorrow evening is the June leg of the RSGB's UKAC activity "contest" on 70cm.  

I usually use my 2m big-wheel omni, 10W, and stop on for less than an hour. Sadly, my 2m big-wheel has developed a high SWR, so tomorrow I will be using an old 4el homemade yagi indoors. It could be several dBs down. At least it can be hand-rotated from the operating position and the match is good. It will be interesting to see how I get on.

The last time it was used was early 2013.
