[Moon] Specs on Wimo SHF2367 Yagi

[Jack F6AJW]

Hello Ed,

I bought this antenna a few months ago. It is supposed to have 19.9dBd 
gain; I can't confirm this. When I wanted to perform some tests on sun 
it was too late in season and sun where too close from or even hidden by 
a big "Cypres" tree  (Lambert or Monterey), 100 year old. This was done 
in my /P vacation QTH in SW of France (IN93EK).

I feel that this antenna is a bit fragile especially if you are using a 
large and heavy coax cable in order to feed the dipole and boom could be 
easily bent. I am not happy with SWR but may be I have a problem with 
dipole and balun which seem loose. Any experience from other friends? I 
have pictures available; I had also problems with hardware content: some 
nuts and washers were missing and some others were too numerous!?
