Hello,
Anyone tried a 160 mts wire yagi?
Will appreciate some info about the performance and construction.
I have a 120 ft tower and some big trees far apart, my idea is to do the
wire yagi from the tower to the tree. The heights are not the same, will
have a rope from from 120 ft high in the tower to 55 ft high in the tree
where I will hang the elements, sloping to the ground.
I have a tree in front of the tower and in the back, so I can do the yagi
with the reflector lower than the driven element and the director, or
viceversa, wich one is better?
73,

If my mind had not completely addled, Denny Had, K8KXK, from Dentron build a
two element bi-directional 160 beam and published it but I cannot find a
reference to it on Google. I'll look later to see if it is in one of my
antenna files.
