I'm trying to build both of the crossed yagi antennae you describe, but I'm having trouble on the driven element side of things.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand (even with the gamma match) how you can connect the centre of your coax feed to the driven element and completely insulate that element from the screen of your coax and it still work.
Every description of a gamma match I have read describes an electrical connection between the centre of the driven element and either the boom or the coax screen (ultimately both).
Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking your design I am just having problems understanding (am I missing something?)
Could you also clarify the construction of the gamma match so I can have a go at replicating your build as closely as possible.

Hi James,
ReplyDeleteI hope you got my email helping you with some of these questions. If not, you can email me on vk4zxx@gmail.com.
Cheers
Nick, its Graham VK5GCT part of the South Coast Amateur Radio Club. We are interested in building the 70cm antenna for our satellite tracking set-up. I have a few questions which I would appreciate answers:
ReplyDelete1 Was the mechanical strength adequate?
2 Would you provide me with more detail on the power divider please?
3 Ditto for the Gamma match
4 Do you have any detail on the method of fixing the antenna to the boom/mast?
