Systematic Investigation of a large fixed 145 MHz Yagi Group
The following investigations have been performed to lay the base for a larger group of yagis for the 145 MHz band to be used for contest operation at mount Schneeberg, JO50WB. It has been inspired by the antenna group used by the DR9A contest group at their portable contest QTH. Mount Schneeberg is the highest peak of the Fichtelgebirge located in the northern part of Bavaria close to the Czech border. It is very demanding with respect to weather condition and high-frequency environment. Antennas will have to be setup in spring and removed in autumn since they won’t survive the winter storms.
