YBN 4m-5m Yagi   with straight split dipole



This little Yagi has a high F/B and altogether very little back lobe volume
The design is a blueprint of the 5 ele. 144 MHz BC measurement Yagi with 50 ohms at feed point for direct feed.
With no high segmentation correction or complex radiators involved this design is pretty much a straight forward
simple building yet performing antenna. For stacking examples, patterns and data see the website of the
YBN 2-5m see here






YBN 4m-5m build by Andreas, DK2CF

This Yagi is build on a boom 25 x 25 mm.
Andreas reports a VSWR of 1:1.13 at 71.01 MHz without final trimm.
