Email from Ian G0GRI - Trowbridge & DARC test results for the 2M-NEXTGEN8 yagi

Derek / Rich

As it Eurovision Night here are the results of the Trowbridge Jury.

Tests were undertaken on Wednesday 26th at the White Horse Hill Westbury, Wilts.

Jan mentions feeder:
I have an RG213 tail (not x 1/2wave) with main feeder Ecoflex 10 tape measured to 1/2 wave (so not deadly accurate).

Jan's feeder I think was RG213.

Any questions on VNA results please email Jan.

We did a crude plot of polar pattern BUT this will be looked at again using the VNA at some point in the next few weeks. this appears to show quite deep nulls at 90 & 270 degrees as one might expect.

So looks good!!!
