On the k7mem yagi design page using the arrl spacings are these 50 ohm antennas ? I want to build a long yagi single channel 12 (207mhz) tv antenna with 75 ohm coax .please help. |

http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/diy-yagi/dipoles.htm No, DL6WU Yagis are old designs that are not optimized for direct 50 ohm feed. They are designed to be fed with folded dipoles, as described on the page above. A folded dipole provides a fixed 1:4 impedance step-up, raising the 12.5 ohm impedance of the Yagi to 50 ohms.

UPDATE. I built this yagi using ARRL SPACING NOT DL6WU SPACING. Hooked the 75 ohm coax direct to feedpoint and WOW tv signal went from 0 to 63 just by reconfiguring feedpoint and element length and spacing on same old antenna. |
