I’ve been apprehensive about building my own yagi antennas before. It seemed so complicated. But then I started tinkering with antenna modelling software and decided it couldn’t be that difficult. So I started building.
Life was so much easier when I realised that with a gamma match I did not have to split or isolate the elements from the boom.
On the pic is my 6m5el and my 2m5el yagis. 6m is a lot of fun this summer. There’s a 10m/20m moxon spider beam coming up next.
Congrats on the build, but especially on overcoming the initial apprehension! www.g0ksc.co.uk has published lots of designs you can build too.
Yeah this is pretty awesome. I’ve built some EFHWs but yagis have always kinda made me nervous for some reason. Great build!
For 6m perhaps just making a 2e yagi is simpler since you’ll only save a trivial amount of width with a moxon.
I’ve been thinking of making a 6m moxon, so I’ll be interested to see your design. Those Yagis look great though!
