This is a four wavelength per leg 40 meter v beam antenna.
V beam hf antenna.
It to the radio so operation on all hf bands is possible here.
It is easy to construct.
7 50 mhz 50 mhz requires an optional kit 3 elements yagi.
The v beam antenna is the first part of a rhombic antenna.
As such we can model it by removing the outer half of a rhombic.
If you re lucky enough to have the room perhaps you may like to put up a multiband vee beam antenna for the hf bands.
50 213 coax to tuner so perfect on any frequency.
These broadband hf antennas are small size and offer continuous coverage from 1 8 to 54 mhz 200ft or 3 5 to 54 mhz 100ft with vswr of below 2 1 up to 30 mhz and below 2 5 1 from 30 to 54 mhz typical vswr on hf frequencies is 1 4 1.
Gain is 14 15 dbi or about 6 db over a dipole.
The vee beam antenna.
I put up my 30 foot high flat top vee beam with a 40 degree aperture.
160 80 40 20 15 10 metres etc using a few simple components at a minimal cost and get great results.
1 element dipole folded 30 40m.
It omits the closing end of the rhombic.
This may not be the case with some other radios though.
Models 3402 and 3403 are broadband terminated vee beam wire antennas.
Well suited to the amateur.
Think of this wire antenna as a half rhombic.
2 the versatile vee beam our second fiweekend antennafl project is an aerial that you can use on all eight high frequency amateur bands 80 40 30 20 17 15 12 and 10m with an antenna tuner and which gives significant gain on the five bands from 20m to 10m.
2 3 swr from 160m to 6m with a 1 1 swr dip at 59mhz 22 mhz.
The mosley antennas in the area all survived.
Hand wound 4 1 voltage balum.
Most other beam antennas in the area damaged and in many cases the antenna and tower came crashing to the ground under the extra weight.
My other radio a yaesu ft 450 with an inbuilt atu is not able to match the.
Using open wire feed minimum 4 ft longer is ok but remember it is a part of the antenna at frequencies under 21 mhz will give an easy match from 14 mhz and up.
