Well I finally got around to it, I re-designed the large 6el broadband beam I
previously made, using the MMANA-GAL program (CD 2010 RSGB yearbook & online).
My community radio station SUSY RADIO I do the engineering for, is too far away
to hear at my QTH for a normal small aerial. Orginally I wanted the aerial to
do the whole 20MHz of UK's Band2 87.5-108MHz. But that was a mistake, as at my
QTH I have strong QRM of the back of the aerial, so I re-optimised the design
for best front to back ratio on just the one frequency of 103.4MHz.

AERIAL IMPEDANCE
This is a good 75 Ohm balanced on the design frequency, so just a 1/4 wave coax
choke balun is needed in the coax feeding the connection box.

This works well on 103.4MHz. I can now hear my SUSY RADIO station with very
little QRM. Gain about 2dB better than the broadband version & F/B ratio 22dB
not 11dB.
See My Tech Bul "Band2 6el Broadband Yagi", "Coiled Coax Choke Balun for VHF",
& "FM Stereo QRM".
Why don't U send out an interesting bul?
