Ham Radio: Yagi

BUILD A 2 METER YAGI AND 6 METER YAGI ANTENNA USING THE VELOCITY FACTOR OF COAX TO DECREASE SIZE OF ANTENNA. Reduce the size of your antennas by using these simple and effective ideas!

80m & 40m DUAL BAND 2 EL SHORT BOOM YAGI - VE6WZ

Bent element yagi for attics. This is a horzontally polarized three Element Yagi. The bent Elements cause very little performance lose. When you consider it is only 8ft. 5" wide and 7ft. 6" long and still has 6.2dbi gain and 20db front to back ratio. And when you off center feed it you get a perfect 50 ohm match to coaxial cables.The SWR is less than 2to1 for 600khz. Not bad for a Antenna that the neighbors don't even know exist.

VE6FI is a contesting station located near Edmonton Alberta, Canada. It is located on 80 acres of land. Most of the antennas are homebrew and would include mono banders on 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters. An 'In Line' four vertical phased array is used on 80 meters.

There are four home brew amplifiers described including 4-1000A, pair of 3-500Z and a pair of 8877's

We are in major contests and have over 100,000 contacts in the log.

The station is owned by Evan, Ve6fi and operated and maintained by Denis Ve6aq. Denis has remoted the station to his own QTH some 20 kms away.
