Presents an alternative construction method for isolated element Yagi antennas, specifically for VHF/UHF operation. The technique utilizes commercially available vibration damping clamps (resin support blocks) to isolate 1/4-inch aluminum rod elements from a 1-inch square aluminum boom, simplifying the build process by eliminating the need for custom-machined insulators. This approach is demonstrated through the construction of 6-element Optimized Wide-Band (OWA) Yagis for the 2-meter, 1.25-meter, and 70-centimeter bands, which are well-suited for portable contesting arrays due to their light weight and decent gain. The document provides detailed specifications for element and boom materials, along with step-by-step procedures for cutting, drilling, and tapping. It also covers the fabrication of a feedpoint bracket for a direct 50-ohm SO-239 coax connection and discusses considerations for horizontal versus vertical polarization, including mast placement. The resulting 6-element models achieve an average free-space gain of 10.2 dBi and a 25 dB front-to-back ratio, with the construction technique being scalable for higher gain designs. Included are parts lists with sources, detailed mechanical drawings for each band, and EZNEC data for the 2-meter and 70-centimeter designs, showing both free-space and 30-foot elevation performance. The designs are optimized from W4RNL's original concepts using HAMCALC, ensuring good gain, passband characteristics, and front-to-back ratios for wideband Yagi operation.
