I am thinking of adding a rotatable 80 meter yagi on one tower. Any suggestions?
Hi John,
As the first part of your thinking about this, I strongly suggest that
you study my applications note on this topic. The most important
conclusion is that height of a horizontally polarized antenna is VERY
important on 80M. Figuring out a way to get a simple dipole (or pair of
dipoles) HIGHER is about as effective as a two-element Yagi. I've had
great success with two dipoles up 130 ft or so at right angles to each
other. The same physics applies whether the antennas are full size or
loaded.
