The First confirmed OWL Yagi in ZL was confirmed by ZL1RS today. The 8 element 9.8 metre long 50MHz version with 13.27dBi gain was built and tested by Bob this weekend. The antenna (pictured below) required some small insulaotr correction due to the thru-element-and-boom insulators (see An 'intro to the OWL Yagi' and 'PLEASE READ!!' sections of this site for more information on insulaotr correction) but presents a wide, flat SWR curve uncharacteristic of a Yagi of only 12.5Ohm impedance.

More OWL Yagis in both 28Ohm and 12.5Ohm versions are being added daily. Low impedance antennas modeled how they should be!

Additionally, this weekend saw the installation of 2 10el Plus2 2M LFA yagis at ZS6JON. John installed his 2 new Yagis and said 'Initial tests are good' with both antennas showing a completley flat 1.1:1 SWR across the whole 2M band.
