SteppIR Urban Beam 40- to 6-Meter Antenna

摘要

The UrbanBeam is aptly named. In Figure 8, you can see how it fits on my small lot. The day I installed the antenna, my wife was not at home.When she arrived later on, her comment was something I didn't expect to hear in my lifetime: "What a beautiful antenna! It looks like a butterfly."With the UrbanBeam and a single feed line, I now have very good performance on eight bands, and on six of them, I can enjoy the performance of a two-element monoband Yagi.This antenna has made a huge difference in my appreciation of my ham radio station. I have fewer wires hanging in my backyard, and the new antenna is no bigger than my previous beam.
