As there are more experienced Band II DXers lurking can you recommend a Band II antenna? Max boom-length 5m and
in stock somewhere in Europe. I ordered an Innovantennas OPT-DES which has not showed up 16 weeks later, so I cancelled the order. I have a crappy 3 ele up now. It was good enough for MUF tracking but would like something better for tropo.
Any recommendations?

Hi,
The 8 element innov is very good, it's worth waiting for. Send Justin a direct mail if you have problems.

You could try the Antennenland Korner 9.2,

days. I know they won't ship to the UK any longer thanks to

Yes Larry, I know Bernd quite well as I am also active on 432MHz EME. By the way if anybody has a small yagi on 432MHz and 50W you can work DL7APV off the moon. Maybe everyone knows this already.

Interesting image, Larry. Aren’t there 10 yagis, 8 on top and 2 on the bottom? And it appears the two on the bottom might be oriented with the elements in the vertical plane, as opposed to horizontal like the top yagis.

You could try the Antennenland Korner 9.2, German company, I don't know if they ship outside Germany these days. I know they won't ship to the UK any longer thanks to Brexshit.

The 8 element innov is very good, it's worth waiting for. Send Justin a direct mail if you have problems.
As there are more experienced Band II DXers lurking can you recommend a Band II antenna? Max boom-length 5m and
in stock somewhere in Europe. I ordered an Innovantennas OPT-DES which has not showed up 16 weeks later, so I cancelled the order. I have a crappy 3 ele up now. It was good enough for MUF tracking but would like something better for tropo.
Any recommendations?

Back in the 60s there was a company called "TELEX" or "TELREX",
can't remember which now. They made a 9 element close spaced beam
for 50 MHz. In the 70s I had a nice 70' tower (do I need 120'
now?) with TH6DXX at 70', the 50 MHz beam above that, and a
literal metal broomstick a wire coat hanger clone of the 6 meter
beam. It worked very well for me. Of course, that 70' tower put
the antennas at 1000' ASL with down slopes to the West through
South through East - and mountains to the North. (Working
Chelyabinsk once from there was a thrill.)
If it conducts it radiates. That antenna could have been better.
But, it had a real beam pattern and real gain. I count that as a
success. Wire coat hanger steel is not THAT much worse a conductor
than alumin(i)um.

For some people cocaine is the signal that they have too much
money. I think this guy has a quite different and far more
respectable signal that he has too much money - and time - on his
hands. That must have taken awhile to get phased in and fed
properly. I wonder if he really gets the 21 dB extra gain that
should give him over a single beam. (18 dB would mean he has a lot
of patience and very low loss feed lines across the array.)
Has he started the second one so he can use SDR techniques as he
rotates them together for another 3 dB of gain.

Hello
Larry, no the purpose of the structure is the 128 yagis on
432MHz for EME.
I'm guessing it will be an array of 16 when
finished.

Interesting image,
Larry. Aren’t there 10 yagis, 8 on top and 2 on
the bottom? And it appears the two on the bottom
might be oriented with the elements in the
vertical plane, as opposed to horizontal like the
top yagis.
Nine rotatable is
better!

Er the clone was at about 1/3 size and worked on two meters.
