I truss is so simple to build and inexpensive, why are you against having
one? I use a 300 "x .125 boom on my HB 4el 20m OWA and a truss.

I am trying to eliminate truss wires if I can on a 4 EL 20M yagi I am
building.Using DX Engineering's Yagi Mech software I show about 5.5 inches
of
sag
on each end of the 30 foot boom. I am using 2" OD .058" wall tube
sectionsfor
the boom. The 5.5 inches of sag is with the center two boom sections
sleevedto
.116" wall thickness. Without the sleeved center two sections the sag is
about
7.5 " on each end. New to using this software and not sure what sag is
acceptable either.What are your thoughts ?
