Hi, these little things slide down a 21.5mm overflow pipe (which forms a boom) and hold tape measure cut into lengths to make a yagi for amateur radio.

I used 6 sets to make a 11db gain antenna for 144MHz (the 2m band) for a competition.

These are the dimensions I used to make my yagi:

The overflow pipe I used was from B&Q:

And the tape measure was 2 of these budget tape measures (12mm width):

For a mast adapter see this:

This one part is a one fit for all... use the same part for driven element and all the directors/reflector. It has a hole for the coax to enter into it for the driven element... the lid helps to keep things square and straight.
