Just curious if anyone had attempted stacked yagis as of this point. I've been looking at $10-$15 home brew 2.4ghz antennas here and found most are built on yagi design, which reminds me of the stacked yagi we used at my school's ham shack, and the home brew 6m antenna I made. I have not played with home brew microwave antennas much, however, the limitation that I can think of right off is how much more senstitive microwave transmissions are to line-loss... so I wonder if the 2-3db gain of stacking would outweigh the loss from the creation of a phase matched y.
Also I'd really like to try it with the threaded rod / washer yagi design I've seen. But I haven't seen very good data on the capture elpise for optimal stacking distances.
