Christmas..! must have been drunk in my beer again? Well... I've got both types of those antennas here... actually one at the top of a repeater site tower. I've used (and am currently using the YDA4404 450-470 model for a ham repeater off a master antenna system. It also works killer! One item to our advantage is how the beam-tilt seems to move down some amount as you go below the 450 band edge. Great for us from a 2,350 foot mountain top. Since California is "right side up" on our 440 to 450 band everything works out because our repeater receivers normally use the 455-449.9875 segment. Now... back to my face down on the table... cheers, skipp ps: thank you Gary for the rehab email notice > If the driven element is the loop dipole type like the Antennex > yagi I have here in front of me... it works killer (great)! > > You can order the Antennex Yagi with a 430-450 range.
