ABCD, Thanks for the help and support with this one. The next one (or maybe two) will be easier to make and quicker. But that will only happen when the I drop the pole to the ground for some maintenance and adding these. Height is an issue, as always. I can feel your dispair with multiple CoCo's and no stable result with them.
Perhaps when next you run that antenna modelling software of yours, you can model this Yagi and see what it gives i.t.o. gain and VSWR and all that.
Trigger: 3 of them wont help much, as they are effective in about 35-45 degrees (Horizontal and Vertical), but yeah, combining them would be a total disaster in the making, I agree with Rooster, as I have seen ons of those phasing harnesses before
. But it would have been great, should it be easy to accomplish.
I think what we have learnt, is that a directional yagi (to cover an airport perhaps) is within the reach of the average DIY hobbyist. That is what I'll test with the next antenna or two, aim it directly at certain "interesting" areas to see what it picks up. Have a spare dongle or two to help with running these setups.
