The final design of
my 432Mhz EME antenna array was decided not to be extreme long yagi's with high
gain. In
stead I made the choice to use antenna's which have less then 3-meter
boomlength. The boom
length was chosen in order be able to construct two antenna booms from one standard
aluminium length material - 6m.
The original 4.2 wl design of DL6WU was 3.12 m
length, which made it interesting to run YO, Yagi Optimizing, in order to shorten the
length to less then 3 meter. The article describes the final mechanical dimensions
and
theoretical results of this modification.
