Greetings, I am trying to figure out how to construct my own 4 element yagi antenna for cb. What I am trying to figure out is, at exactly what size the entire antenna should be, how far separated the elements must be from each other, how long they should be, and what diameter for the tubing. I am also wondering what material will work, I notice most antennas are aluminum, but I want to do it with copper if possible. If you could give me help with this, and let me know what all materials I need, lengths, etc, That would help me out so much! Also for frequency range I want it to be cemtralized as best as possible for the entire CB spectrum.



Thank You so much!
