Hi All
We are duplexing using a UHF 11 element yagi (Cruscraft) in a hostile
environment. Last weekend there were a number of 110 MPH gusts. The
problem is wind noise. I have tightened the element hardware with
some success. Spray it with water and it is quiet while tapping the
boom with a small hammer. The beam is mounted on a 1 1/2 inch
fiberglass pole.
This is a 195 mile link and using 15 watts out of the
duplexer. This has worked fairly well for fifteen years but the
noise is a recurring problem.
Some thoughts using conductive epoxy, came to mind but also I was
looking for a supplier of a welded maybe 9 element yagi that might work.
We need a yagi to give co channel protection to the North (beam headed East).
