Performance Data and Geometry
Pattern and VSWR


GTV 2-19m Yagi   with bent Driven Element

EME + SSB serious full size Long Yagi (12.4 m boom)

Serves as single Yagi for EME even with modest output power. Can be used up to FM range of band.
The pattern with all rear lobes down to approximately -30 dB makes it a very useful contest antenna.
The bent DE (K6STI style) transforms from low impedance to 50 ohms at feed point for direct feed.
