I have some 6M Yagi designs with uniform element diameters that I would like to build using tapered elements I have on hand from the aluminum pile. Does anyone have a pointer to converting the unifor
It is usually contained in whatever Yagi design program I use such as YO. I think there are stand-alone programs to create a taper schedule, but I didnt find one in a quick search. Chuck W5PR _______
JoeThe best tool I have found is AutoEZ by AC6LA. Playing around with taper schedule in it is so easy it's ridiculous. It's well worth the small price he asks for it. For a 6 meter beam I don't think
Unfortunately, it's not just the small price he asks for it... it also requires the current version of Excel and M$ absurd licensing requirements (annual tribute for Office). I have the previous vers
A method I've used (albeit a bit roundabout) is to use Yagi Mechanical to determine the individual element resonant frequencies (for the constant diameter elements), and then do the same with your ta
There might be some misunderstanding there. AutoEZ (https://ac6la.com/autoez.html) can be used with any version of Microsoft Excel from the last 20 years or so. I recently acquired a new laptop with
I've been using (and once upon a time beta testing) Dan's programs for years. I'm still running the same MS Office 2000. I don't even know how to run later versions. Wes N7WS On 7/29/2022 10:05 AM
Thanks, Dan. I'll take a look ... I hae Office 2007 installed on my system with (Office 98 and 2000 CDs in storage). I *thought* I had checked before and gotten a "would not run" message. The Plazaso

I have used Leeson's (W6QHS) Element spreadsheet for this. I believe it is a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet but it can easily converted to Excel or whatever spreadsheet you use. John KK9A Messages sorted by
Leeson's workbooks are Lotus 1-2-3. Libraoffice will open them directly as will older versions of Excel. Once opened in an older Excel it can be saved as an .xls. Wes N7WS John KK9A Messages sorted

Note that things like formulas and formatting often fall victim to file conversion and import/export. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ ____________________________________

Good find John, I've been studying K8CU's log periodic project. I'm toying around with the idea of experimenting/building a Log to go on my 78' tower. I've always wanted to try one. I have a pair of
I believe the best way is to determine the resonant frequency of each element using AutoEZ and then adjust the tips of you actual taper schedule/element to match the original antennas. If I remember
