2-Element-12,5-Ohm- Yagi with 0,35m-Boom

Stacked Array 2 over 2 see down!

Short data: Gain 4.5dBd, F/R >20dB, bandwidth 300KHz (50.0-50.3 MHz) at SWR < 1.5, -3dB hor. 67,4°, -3dB vert. 129,4°

The antenna has an unbelievable pattern, but must have a very clear surrounding! Do not use this Yagi in a "christmas-tree" of other antennas.

The stacked Array 2 over 2

 

This is a very interesting antenna, gain 8,5dBd and lightweight construction.  The ultimate antenna for DX-peditions and portable use! Great horizontal and small vertical 3dB-angle.

Very important:

The stacking distance must be 4,50m and the antennas have other lengths than a single Yagi. Stacking with 2x3/4-Lambda 75-Ohm-coax, e.g. 2x3,00m RG-59 or RG-11. See the stacking scheme at the construction details page. Here I have used 2x3,0m RG-59.

The first antenna must be >3m (lambda/2) above ground!
