80m Yagi


In july 2005 we erected our newest antenna, a four element yagi antenna. The antenna is made from aluminum elements on a steel beam. The elements are made up from a diameter of 202 mm down to 80 mm with a wall-thickness of 5 mm. We have estimated the weight of the antenna to 1800kg.  Below you will find some photos showing the erection of this large antenna.

A 58m high crane was used.

Unfortunately the mast fell down during a storm in October 2005 -  In 2006 a new mast will be erected to carry the 21MHz antennas.
