![]() "Richard" wrote I'm wanting to build a receive VHF yagi covering the marine band, that is from 156.025 - 162.05 Mhz (6 Mhz frequency range). I want a design that maximises gain. I would have thought that what I need is a wide-band yagi, but that's all, not a very-wide band yagi. Should I be using OWA design? Or what? BTW, given the frequencies above, what is the yagi bandwith I'd require? I mean, should I be building a yagi described as having a 6Mhz bandwith? TIA. Richard, if you live in an area plagued by pager-interference to the marine-band, you may notice real improvement by a narrow-band yagi. I used to use a wide-band yagi for marine but abandoned it due to its impracticality in trying to cover 300 degrees of traffic from my station location. Even so, with its large front to back separation and fairly narrow directional gain, it did help reduce pager-interference. 73, Jack Painter Virginia Beach, Virginia |
