“The VE6WZ QTH is a small city lot, so achieving gain on 80m has been difficult. A vertical 4 sq. wire array was considered but would have been a compromise design because of the crank-up tower and limited space.

Good DX results have been experienced using the Force-12, EF-180B, 80m rotatable dipole at 100′ so it was decided to design a 2 el 80m yagi around similar elements. (F-12 markets such yagis).”
