'Each parasitic element half-length was shortened by 0.75" to account for the 'inner 0.5"-diameter reinforcement tubing section, the rectangular element- 'mounting bracket, and the 1"-square boom. The bracket and reinforcement 'sections increase element effective diameter to 0.43". The driven elements are 'modeled using actual lengths and diameters, plus an inner 1.1"-diameter section 'equivalent to the reinforcement section and mounting bracket. All corrections 'and equivalents were computed with the YO Yagi Optimizer program. ' 'The FM-6 has two possible mounting holes in the boom for the feed bracket. 'This model was developed to determine where to place the bracket on a used FM-6 'which lacked assembly instructions. The model needs 24-30 segments per 'halfwave for good SWR convergence.
