Howard, The ant I had was for 20 mtrs and I could have forgotten but as I 
remember it was a 204 ba  and the boom was 26 feet.  I still have that ant 
in the rafters of my shop and bundled up and tore down many years ago it 
don't work worth a hoot hi.  I now use a force 12 which is a far cry from 
the old 4 element yagi.  Thanks Howard.  73

Hi Phil and Ed,

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Hy-Gain two element 40 meter beam was
Model 402BA, not 204BA.  Back in the '80's I owned the 402BA and a TH6DXX.
I purchased these before stainless hardware was supplied.

I now own a two element 40 meter beam and a 11 element beam for 20, 17, 15,
12 and 10 meters made by Optibeam.  The Optibeams are much higher quality
than the Hy-Gain products.
