HI Jeff, sorry mate, my pockets aren't deep enough to come over and give you a lift back to Buxton. LOL I have been playing on the Lap Top and come up with this design for the weekend. The boom length is 7.8 mtrs. Also playing with a design for a 6 ele, 9.2 mtr boom on that one. not sure if it will be too big to play for a weekend at Buxton, it is a possability though. I will be out this Saturday to build and test it I might have Smudger with me for the day at the Caravan.

Yes Andy, I know that was 'only' the 7.8m one, maybe my reply was not very clear ![]() Hence I said 'A 9+ metre boom wow, definitely need supports lolol' ...... because that 'small' 7.8m one looks to be slightly bowing heheh, so an even longer one, blimey !! |

If I get new sections sorted for the trailer tower in time, there will be a 6 element yagi going up for the weekend. OR. The sections have not arrived in time or it looks like being windy up there, a 5 element will be going up. Not sure on which design either, OP DES, ( can be found on Innovative Antennas site ) or normal yagi, either way I have designs for both. Guys, my gear is not there for show. Don't be afraid to ask, if you want to take the chair and operate for a while or chase a new personal DXCC you are more than welcome. Andy As AL says, good BBQ , good social and hopefully good weather. Andy |
