I suspect the Superbertha yagis were copies of the NW3Z OWA designs
from Dayton many years ago.  Here is but one link ... including the
6 element 15 meter on a 36' boom:

Superbertha Yagis were probably designed by WA3FET,perhaps K3LR was
involved.  I would reach out to them.  NR5M used some Superbertha Yagis on
his super-station that seems to be inactive lately.  Perhaps George has a
manual for that model.

If it was me, I would just model one using your hardware.  YU7EF and G0KSC
have some good OWA designs to start with.

A few years ago I acquired two what I am pretty sure are 15MOWA-36 yagi
that

were made by W3TX at SuperBertha.com.  I have not been able to reach W3TX
or

find any information about spacing / element length etc.

I can, of course, make measurements and put what I have into EZNEC and
redesign
these antennas but before I do that I figured I would see if anyone has a
manual or information about these antennas.

There are snapshots of the web site on the WayBackMachine but no info
beyond

the above model number.

Thanks
