Building a 5 element OWA Yagi at VE6FI
This antenna is similar to the other 20m Monobanders that we have installed on the tower. It was model with EzNec, Tapered sections were calculated, and the wind loading on the elements was calculated. Al pipe and tubing was used to build the antenna. The tubing uses 0.065 wall thickness, instead of the telescope AL found in 0.058 sections which would fit nicely into one another.
