YBN 4m-8m Yagi   with straight split dipole



This full size 4 m Yagi has a high F/B and altogether very little back lobe volume
The design is a blueprint of the 5 -8 concept 8 ele. 144 MHz Yagi design 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 2-8m see here
