Just wanted to get the word out about a new 80 meter beam design by W7CY and
NI6W.
Many may not know the callsign of W7CY, but Rod has been better known as
NZ7E. Of coarse Kurt, NI6W, is the developer of YagiStress 2.0. W7CY has
moved to a new hilltop location and is again, with NI6W, designing 80 meter
antennas. Rod at his old house, just few miles away from his new place, had a
4-square up for 80. This antenna was just unbelievable!! Ive used the
4-square several times at Rod's during contests and it was just killer. Early
reports from Rod and Kurt at the Visalia Dx Conv say that this antenna is also
working VERY well compared to the old 4-square.
The electrical design for the new beam is by W7CY (AO) and the mechanical
design by NI6W/7 (YagiStress 2.0).
