Cushcraft MA-5B compact five-band Yagi

This is a compact three-element yagi that will cover 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20 metres.  You can see the manufacturer’s specifications here: https://mfjenterprises.com/products/ma-5b

This is owned by Ron VE3REV, but is stored at my home.

The antenna was used by Ron for several years in Ontario, then installed in Dakar, Senegal, where Ron operated as 6W1Su from 2016 to 2019.  You can see a picture of the antenna where it was last used an installed at https://www.qrz.com/db/6W1SU

Dakar has a very corrosive salt-air environment.  This antenna works well, but the surfaces show significant effects from the salt-air.  Some of the capacity hat rods have broken and may need to be replaced.
