a technical masterpiece in Yagi antenna construction Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
The new Optibeam OBDYA 12-5 12 Element Driven Yagi Array for 20-17-15-12-10m has far exceeded my expectations. In many years I have never had a Yagi in operation that delivers such high performance. Particularly noteworthy is the low SWR on all bands and the mechanical robustness.
This Yagi Array is particularly recommended in areas with high wind loads. All in all, this new 12 Element Yagi Array is simply a technical masterpiece.
