A 6 element OWA Yagi for 21MHz with a 14.785mtr boom - 6OWA21OS

I WILL MODEL THIS ANTENNA IN ANY TUBE SIZE OR TAPER SECHDULE FOR YOU, CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL

This antenna was designed for 9A3OS

This is a high-gain, wideband OWA (Optimised Wideband Array) Yagi which covers the whole of the 15m band with an SWR of less than1.1:1 from 21-21.45MHz. It is a non-crtical antenna so both metric and imperial sized tubing can be used with the same dimensions. This antenna has a three stage taper.

This Antenna has been modelled using NEC4 and confirmed by FEKO. This is thousands of dollars of the very latest antenna design software available and the results are highly accurate. When loading into your software, you will see similar SWR but not the same. Please do not alter the model, build to these dimensions for the best results.

Contact me if you are unsure what correction (if any) you require for the element holders/stand-offs you will use or any other questions you may have.

A 7element 50MHz LFA2 Yagi with 9.5m boom - 7LFA6WOS / 7LFA6CCZ

Premium commercial versions of this antenna at Innovantennas

This antenna has been designed for both G3WOS and G4CCZ. Chris  G3WOS has completed his antennas first and I am now looking to name antennas based on the first confirmed build. However, both Chris and Paul asked me to design this and provided feedback to me along the way so it is a difficult one to fix a name for !!

The antenna employs bent reflector and first director elements in order to enhance wide-band continuity in respect of impedance, gain, F/B and overal pattern Stability.

Chris, G3WOS has produced a very comprehensive overview of his build and the results so rather than not do as good a job as him in this regard, I will point now to his site for all antenna details and build requirements.

His very detailed and very impressive article can be found here: http://www.gare.co.uk/6m_antenna/
