I have a 5 element 6m beam yagi. If I find the correct diameter aluminium tubes to extend the elements to be a 10m beam; is that doable?

The beam has a gamma-match. Would I have to get longer parts for that as well?

I have a 5el. 6m Cushcraft horz yagi mounted on a a 1 5/8" steel pole ~15' above trailer home.

Update:

I talked to DXEngine. and they said no worries.
I have strung a 10m wire dipole (h-brew) between that mast and a seperate mast holding a Diamond X300 ~15' above roof. Works good!

Thanks for reply. Not sure what a filters going to cost (sigh). He received the compressor free because it didn't work
QRN from neighbor's air compressor N0CHS on 5/7/18
Hi all-

When I have 2m band on, my neighbor's air compressor causes a rhythmic qrn (static) burst on my IC706MIIG.

He's a friend and owns a small engine shop almost next door. Before I go talk to him, I'd like to at least narrow down what may be causing the qrn.

Any suggestions eliminating causes BEFORE I head over to talk with him?

Field Day ~ maybe qsl for WAS? N0CHS on 22/6/18
I will be manning 6m station on FD. I will be operating under club call, K0IIT. My call is W0DBB .. . .

If I send a QSL card with W0DBB in the required info. box. BUT add a note on back saying I was "guest" under K0IIT, will that qualify as a legit contact for WAS?
