I took the Comet CA-52HB4 4 element 6 metre yagi with me to Portugal to operate 6 metres from my Holiday QTH. In all it took me about 15 minutes to put it together the first time, after that I could assemble it in around 5 minutes flat. It is really easy to put together "on location" because It uses Butterfly nuts for both the Boom to mast clamps and the element to boom clamps.
The Dual driven elements give virtually 1:1 SWR over a wide bandwidth, ideal if you like operating either end of the band. The pattern is very clean with good gain. So far running just 100 Watts I have worked over 40 countries with it whilst on holiday.
I mount it on a stackable 20ft 1 1/4 inch mast that I tie wrap to the balcony railings at the Villa, it is so lightweight it's no hassle to put up and stays put even in the strong winds on the Algarve coast.
All in all a great antenna for either home or portable use.
