Default Homebrew a 850mhz Yagi!

Yesterday i built a 850mhz Yagi and I am still really impressed on how well it performs. This was my very first antenna i've ever made. Here are the directions on how i assembled the antenna. I used 1/8" brass tubing and a 5.8" wooden dowel from Home Depot. The cost was about 16 dollars ($2.00 for dowell, $5.00~ each for brass rod, and $4.00 for spray paint). Quality is excellent. The main problem I had was the direction the antenna was facing. Good luck. Any questions feel free to ask! This antenna is mounted in my attic and is ran to my scanner with a 50' RG cable with 256-258? connectors. I can get pictures tomorrow if you need them!
