1. [VHFcontesting] 2m yagi on 432 (score: 1): Author: "John Geiger (NE0P)" <ne0p@lcisp.com>; Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 13:55:29 -0500; I have a Cushcraft 10 element 2m Yagi (a148-10S) which I have tried to use on 70cm. It shows a good SWR-1.5:1 or so, and hears a little, as I did hear the beacon from Oscar 29 on it this morning. Doe; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00147.html (7,017 bytes)

A dipole doing this will have lobes off the ends - so you might find the best direction is "off the side" of the beam. Maybe the elemen; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00148.html (7,886 bytes)

Re: [VHFcontesting] 2m yagi on 432 (score: 1): Author: jcplatt1@mmm.com; Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 14:30:00 -0500; As Tree has pointed out, a 432 yagi is 3/2 wavelengths on 144 and it may show a decent SWR. The pattern will be anything but decent and will most likely have a null straight ahead. The antenna may ha; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00150.html (7,429 bytes)

As for John's 10 el 2M ant, I've used one on 432. As you say the max gain is at 45 deg off of center. I did some testing with a local and he; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00152.html (8,551 bytes)

The antenna was a K2RIW 19-element 432 MHz yagi. At the time, I was running 1.5 watts output. Tropo conditions were there,; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00154.html (9,797 bytes)

Back in November 2000 I operated 6 Meters from Guadeloupe. One evening the TEP (trans-equatorial propagation) was very strong on 6 Meters to Brazil.

Like others have commented, and I too have heard, (but never tested personally), that 3/2 wave center fed yagi's will perform poorly. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH http:/; /archives//html/VHFcontesting/2006-04/msg00162.html (8,955 bytes)
