Hi,
I am interested in buying a triband yagi (20-15-10) for portable
operations
But I suspect such antennas, most being made of aluminium, to be heay
(over 10 kg) and maybe not easy to dismantle regularly
I review on my webiste various portable configurations, so I know quite
well the problem.
I would like to know if some of you have testes successfully such
installations using the minimum of hardware (transportation using an
ordinary car, not a break, not a pickup and not a 4x4, installation by
only one person, small beam placed on a single pod 8-10m high, one
guy-wire, no rotator) for a on-day activity, the Tx working on battery.
If you work in the field with a small beam, what difficilty do you
experimented (weght, wingspan, other)?
Thanks
Thierry
