2M - 28 Ohm Yagi Antennas

On this page are designs for 28 ohm 2M yagi beams. The 28 ohm driver impedance gives better patterns and bandwidth. They have a matching network to 50 ohms, that is composed of 2 - 1/4 wavelenght 75 ohm coax in parallel. These are all high performance beams designed for SSB, to put on FM make the elements ~5mm shorter.
