Entry for April 6, 2008 50MHz Yagi

I am building two 5 elements 50MHz Yagi antennas design dk7zb 28 Ohm. Today finished the first of the two yagi's.

To see if its working I put the yagi on a small pole behind the house and connected a antenna analyser. The swr was good from around 49.9 to 50.4 MHz. It was interesting to see how the surrounding objects influenced the swr of the antenna.

There is still work to do. Small adjustments of the element mounting and a mast clamp have to be added. Then I move to the second yagi.
