The DK7ZB-Dualband-Moxon-Beam for 10 m and 6 m

 

One feedpoint with 50 Ohm for both bands!

This Minibeam has for 28 MHz 2/3 of the dimensions of a fullsize-beam and is an open-sleeve-fed 2-El.-Yagi for 50 MHz

Gain 10 m = 4,0 dBd

F/B = 30 dB

Gain 6 m = 4,3 dBd

F/B = 11 dB

For the connections of the bended ends I use Cu-fittings.

The lengths in the upper table mean the distance from the center of the tubes to the other end.

Pay attention that the middle parts 2, 4, 7, 9 must be longer and can be shifted in the 16-mm-tubes for tuning!
