YBN 50-7mzc Yagi   with Straight Dipole

EME + SSB modest bandwidth version ... strictly G/T breeding with a straight dipole

This Yagi is a compact size 7 element 22 ohms native impedance Yagi that is adapted to 50 ohms using a hairpin match.
This medium length Yagi is balanced between gain and Antenna Temperature. Date of design issue: 2020.04.25

"Ready to saw and drill" data for elements on boom with BC acc. DG7YBN for Stauff Clamps:


Boom shape: square
Boom: 30 x 30 mm
Offset rear: 60 mm
Offset front: 60 mm
 

Stauff Clamps 2-15-PP

plus screws M6 x 65


Note: This includes a "Segmentation Density Correction" (SBC) of 0.09 mm
