4 Elelemt Yagi Beam Antenna for 20 meter

Posted on April 23, 2020April 23, 2020 by Simone

On picture 1 you can see the GK 4 element 20m yagi on a 40ft boom on the construction pedestal for the 20m stacks



All of the yagis were built on the pedestal you see under the beams.


Omega match on  this new yagi for the 4X4 stacks has been adjusted using a TS-50 and a BIRD 43 watt meter.


The antennas installed, one at 95-ft and the other at 37-ft. 

Top one on a 3in diameter  boom, the bottom on a 4 in diameter  boom.

    Hi, I was interested in building this 4 element yagi antenna. Do you have a detail showing how to build the Omega match portion of the antenna and how it should be positioned (dimensions) relative to the main radiating element (34.5 ft. element)??
