3-Element-17-m-Yagi with 28 Ohm (Version 1)

Boom 5,00 m (Broadband-Yagi for mounting with other antennas nearby)

(A second Yagi with 3,85 m Boom and 12,5 Ohm see down)

Dave, M0TAZ, and his team have built the Yagi and tested it on a fieldday.

The beam construction really was a team effort and was made possible by Chris G8OCV, George M1GEO

Peter G0IAP, John  M0UKD and Dave  G7UVW.

Links to the steps of building the yagi:       Part 1     Part 2

Short data for the Yagi at the begin, in the middle part and at the end of the band

Plot with the NEC-II-reference of YO7.2 by K6STI

The meaning of the data :

Frequency, gain, F/R, radiation resistance (impedance), SWR and loss against a theoretical defined maximum-gain- Yagi with the given boomlength. Remember  that this gain is only available with very low impedance and extrem low bandwidth!
