The 5-Element-2-m-Yagis

1.)   1,50-m-Boom, 50 Ohm    2.)   1,40-m-Boom, 50 Ohm     3.)   1,50-m-Boom, 28 Ohm  (new)

Version 1: 5-El.-50-Ohm, 1,50 m Boom

Boom 1,5 m, 20mm PVC tubing

 Gain 8,48dBd, F/B 24dB, very good pattern

3dB-angles:   51,2° hor, 64,6° ver

For vertical stacking distance 2,10 m

For a further reducing of the weight the directors can be made of 2,4 or 3,2mm rods, 4mm is possible, of cause.

If you want to built the Yagi with 6mm-elements and conventional boom, I have listed the dimensions in the table, too.
