Look at the table bellow. You will be impressed how good characteristics are achieved from this type of antenna!

Everything said for the 144 MHz Twinboom yagis (http://www.qslnet.de/member1/yu7xl/my_tween_boom_yagi_antennas_for.htm) applies for this band antennas, too. Moreover, now good temperature performance emerges in full splendour.

Clicking on the hyperlink in the name of the antenna model, a new page will open offering all details for buiding. Of course, placing the upper and lower booms, you cannot get exact distance between them, Do not worry, a small error will be OK. Actually, this should be the distance between the upper and lower elements.

All elements should be insulated from the booms. All antennas have 200 Ohms impedance at the feeding points and should be fed with 1/2 WL balun made of coax cable 50 Ohms.

Among all performance data, you will see a comparison table where the VE7BQH table is used with the model`s data inserted where it belongs according to its boom length.

The values for gain and G/T ratio are given with inclusion of KF2YN convergence correction. Therefore, the data in green fields in the tables are correct and valid for the material used (for aluminum).

Enjoy! de Boban, YU7XL
