A 2 element Fixed, Reversible Yagi for 20 Meters

Great job on the 2 element.

You don't give up, do you?

Thanks Homer! I'm starting to think I'm like the guy in Swamp Castle from Monty Python.

I had a chance to flip the switch on it quite a bit yesterday afternoon with the band being open to Europe and Mexico. Something I didn't mention earlier was the high power line noise I have here at times. Reversing the pattern on the beam can make a huge difference in that also.

The f/b ratio isn't as dramatic as with a 2 element phased array, but the gain is a bit higher and this is a lot easier to build.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
