Welcome to G4CQM's Homebrew VHF/UHF/SHF Ham (Amateur) Radio Yagi/Beam Antenna Designs.
Richard Mason G6HKS and Derek Hilleard G4CQM are pleased to announce that we have joined forces to re-launch PowAbeam Antennas in kit form. Despite the 'Credit Crunch' homebrew is booming, increasing numbers of you are building your own yagis and we aim to encourage this. Remember this, if you are unable to hear them you will not work them. Build PowAbeam Antennas kits and achieve both!
We would like to thank all the contributors to these pages including VK3VG, 4X1UN, G3TFR and M0ELS.
50-Ohm natural impedance yagis are the future and G4CQM's State-of-the-Art PowAbeam Antennas feature 'Direct Feed/Connect'! These yagi designs have been carefully optimised with YO7 PRO from Brian Beezley K6STI.
Back in December 1994 Derek Hilleard G4CQM began research for PowAbeam Antennas, inspired by the legendary work of Guenter Hoch DL6WU and Rainer DJ9BV. Thanks to top DX'ers Joe Ludlow GW3ZTH and the late Norman Vincent G3NVO who provided invaluable support testing the designs in both fixed station and portable applications. Read more...
