YBN 23-5m Yagi with straight Driven Element
A short and easy to build 23 cm Yagi that provides a clean pattern and good 10 dBi of gain.
This is the scaled version of the well tested 2 m band YBN 2-5m. Design date of issue: 2020.12.29

YBN 23-5m by Maxime, F4FEY:
This Yagi was built according scaling the 2 m version YBN 2-5m by Kazuo, 7L1TIG.
