YBN 50-5wrc vs   with Straight Dipole

Wideband version 50.0 - 50.7 MHz with VSWR > 1:1.1 with high F/B and
overall relatively clean rear pattern ... with a straight dipole.

This Yagi is a compact size 5 element 20 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: 2022.04.25.




YBN 50-5wrc vs built by Karel, OK2ZI at use on DXpedition TN8K

Karel reports: "Antennas are working very well. 10m is a real gangbuster. Many thanks for your help again."
