I
have been using ZX Yagis on 50Mhz for over 2 years now and find them
very good, we have very big winds here in IO68um, so strong yagis are
needed.
|
|
The
tower is only 40 feet high, but I find it the right hight without
having to lower or tilt the tower in high winds.
|
|
|
The two ZX yagis are 10 feet apart, one ZX at 40 feet and
the other at 50 feet. I have had good results with them so far.
|
|
|
|
I
will see how they stand up in the winter, I may take the top Yagi off
during the bad months. |

Below are the yagis in the twilight after a very humid day.

Above
are the Yagis beaming 89deg from the tower base, which is 3 ton
of concrete.
You can also see the two Windom Wires. |
