  • I'm conducting a test on a homemade three-element Yagi antenna at 28.5 MHz. The Gamma Match consists of a mobile antenna socket paired with a 3/8 inch (hy-gain) rod. The directors are constructed from six shorted radials from an old 27MHz, 1/4 GP antenna by LEM. The boom is crafted from a 2x2cm aluminum tube. The equipment includes a YAESU FT-920 with a G-250 rotator and an antenna analyzer by VECTRONICS: (SWR-584B). Additionally, there's a cool three-element vertical Big-Stick beam antenna worth checking out.

    Hello dr OM. The aluminium rods are taken from an old CB 1/4 GP antenna, called Lemm GP-278. The gamma match part is made of an old mobile antenna base, with 3/8 bolt. Some old CB-antennas gives materials for new ones. Example the 2.7m radials from an old 5/8 antenna.... 73's....

      Will be having the beam mounted on the chimney with rotor, I have been having some great Dx using a Hawkins Thunderbolt ssd12+, which is a 5.5m wire with a coil.
      Replacing that with a 10/11m Yagi wire 22ft with a balun, that'll be above the beam on a 10m Spiderpole.

    How is the driven element insulated from the boom? And your reflector and directors are not insulated from the boom? How does that work?

    • @SWIZZRADIOS
      @SWIZZRADIOS  Před 4 lety +1

      Mr Brian hello, thank you for your interest. The radiator isn't insulated from the boom. It's not necessary, because the feeding part is a gamma match element. The reflector and director aren't also insulated, because the current-maxima are in the middle of these. You should ground all sticks in the middle, for a good lightening protection. Please take a look in the ARRL antenna book. Happy airwaves to you...

    @PA3HGY: Hello dr OM.Of course, a 3-element is higher in the gain and better in the radiation pattern . But the HB9CV antenna is higher in the gain and better in the front to back ratio (Mister Rudolf Baumgartner (HB9CV) as a 2 element yagi. The boomlength of the HB9CV is abt. 1/8 lambda and of the 2 ele. yagi abt. 1/4 and at last, of the 3 ele. yagi abt 1/2 lambda!!! I think, for my small antenna place is the HB9CV the best solution. I will send you a mail with my HAM-radio-call..73's.
