I have a 2 meter yagi I want to mount vertically on a tower. I read I need to use a non-metallic (fibre-glass) mast, but how much separation should there be between the tip of the radiator and the tower?. I have read on the internet, 1/2 wave, full wave, and it doesn't matter. Couldn't find the answer in the Amateur Radio Handbook. Thanks, Dave K4DJW |

Common consensus is half wave separation, though we recently modelled this with Eznec and the performance isn't too different at 1/4 wave if you can't manage 1/2 wave. |
