3-Element-12,5-Ohm-DK7ZB-Yagi with 2,20m-Boom

Another Yagi with 1,90-m-Boom see down!

All you need is gain! This portable Yagi has lower weight and more gain than any comparable Yagi. Stacked array 3 over 3 with 10 dBd!

In the ISSUE 107 (May 2011) of the SIX-NEWS (UKSMG) was a report about this Yagi

High-gain, narrow-band version

Gain 7.15 dBd

F/B 13 dB

The antenna was designed with 12,5 Ohm for 50.125 MHz. Without any tuning the measured SWR minimum was at 50,155 MHz with 1,04! You can correct the lengths of the elements 1-2 mm for SWR 1,0 at 50,150 MHz.

in JM49EL

during the UKSMG-50-MHz-Contest 2011

1.st place single op/ portable

 

Rig: IC-7000

Powered with two solar panels (120 + 75 W)

and 180 Ah lead acid batteries

In 2017 first place in the UKSMG-6h-portable section with the 2x3-Ele. from JM49GT

The stacked Array 3 over 3

built by Mitch, ON8DM

 

Gain 10 dBd, stacking distance 4,50 m

The first measuring with the EZNEC-lengths without any correction:

Bandwidth 500KHz (49.9-50.4 MHz) at SWR < 1.5

 

Updated dimensions (18-July-2006) for a little bit more bandwidth, new antenna built and tested :

Middle part of the radiator for 12mm and 10mm parasitic elements 2x150mm of 16x1,5mm, outer ends 12x1mm, length tip to tip. Fine-tuning by shifting the 12mm-parts.

Match with 2xLambda/4 50-Ohm-coax in parallel to a grounded socket, feedpoint impedance 50Ohm.

An other construction for the radiator is a folded dipole with an impedance of 50Ohm (4x12.5Ohm). At the feedpoint use a toroid balun 1:1 (T 200-6) or a coax-cable choke to match the symmetrical load to the coax-cable.

The lobe with 26° elevation is for ES in the range of 1000-2000 km, the lobe with 8° for long haul DX!
