Here, as they say, is one I made earlier. Some time ago I made a satellite dual band crossed yagi (2 & 70) with a split boom. This is one half of the boom with only the 70cm elements. The second picture is a close up of the driven element. It seems to have a low SWR, I can't measure it properly but there is no return power as seen on a Bird with a 5w element, when it is fed with 5w. Good enough. If I wave it towards RE I can open it with 5w so it seems to work. Therefore I'm ready to roll!
