![]() I am thinking for replacing my old Creative Design CL-6A 5 element 6 meter yagis with one of the M Squared antennas, either a 6M7, 6M7JHV, or a 6M2WLC. Does anyone know where there's any comparatiuve data on them or where there are product reviews on the 6M7 or 6M2WLC (the JHV was in QST a few years back)? Thanks Phil Finkle K6EID There ok if you want a thin element narrowband yagi. They do show SWR rise with ice and snow. Myself I'd want fatter elements for wider bandwidth and a bit more robust. The design of the yagi (element lengths and spacing) has far greater influence on the bandwidth than the element diameter. In other words, a wire yagi could have wider bandwidth than one made with tubing. It's also hard to say that larger diameter elements always survive ice and wind better, as there are many variables: taper schedule, tubing thickness, etc. Tor N4OGW |
