The Classics for 6 to 20m
Ultrabeam 6–20 Yagis
The
classical shortwave antennas by Ultrabeam: starting with the rotary
dipole up to the 6 element Yai antenna for all bands from 6 to 20m.
Perfect for the DX bands 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6m, for example when you
use wire antenna for the longer bands. Even with just the dipole you
have a perfect radiator because of the matched length of the antenna.
The larger Yagis usually have a better gain or a better front/back ratio
due to the correct length of the elements than a traditional trap beam.
The helps eliminating QRM and reach that rare DX station. Despite the
better values these beams are only slightly larger than beams with
shortened trap elements.
The mechanical quality is very high -
as with all Ultrabeam antennas. The motor units (EHU) are mounted on
solid steel plates which also support the elements, and protect them
from mechanical stress. The antennas with multiple elements are always
using a square aluminum boom, sized 60x60 mm with the 2 to 4 element
beams, and 80 x 80 mm for the large e element antenna.
The 4
element yagi is supplied with a truss kit for the boom. This kit
contains a support pillar, which is installed vertically on the boom,
plus guying ropes with all mechanical hardware required to install the
guy wires to the extremities of the boom.
180° Direction Swap
With
the push of a dedicated button the antenna reverses its main radiation
direction in less than 3 seconds. This effectively changes the director
and reflector of the antenna, on some models additionally the radiating
element will be switched. This lets you test different propagation
directions within a few seconds. Or quickly work that station calling
from the backside during a contest, without losing time to rotate the
antenna.
6m Option
For the 3 and 4 element yagi we
offer an optional 6m kit. This turns the 3 element Yagi into a 5 element
for 6m, the 4 element Yagi becomes a 7 element for 6m. The gain and
front to back ratio is greatly improved on the 6m band. Of course you
can use these antennas also on 6m without these kits. The optional 6m
elements are not variable in length, they are made of conventional
aluminum tubes. On the other bands these passive elements do not
influence the pattern negatively.
