Thanks to Peter Miles (VK6YSF) for this interesting 5-element, 70 cm, Yagi Antenna.
According to Peter, the use of a J-driven element makes the construction of this antenna easier and more efficient.
If you neet to contact a distant 2-meter repeater or station, this antenna will do the job.

Here are some comments from Peter (VK6YSF):
With the goal of producing and easier to construct driven element for a 70cm band Yagi than the more difficult to construct folded dipole the Half Folded Dipole or J-Dipole popularised by Kent Britain W5VJB was selected as a more simpler to construct alternative.
This interpretation of Kent’s design is an all-Aluminium construction and consistent with my previous construction techniques used for the 5 element 70cm band Yagi that allow for ease of construction, experimentation and optimisation of the antenna.
