just tested my #Yagi by #DK7ZB and had my first contact in simplex #145500 with #HA6VSR

even without choke and #NanoVNA this #antenna worked surprisingly well, good report, 59+20

the antenna - 4el-50Ohm-Yagi by DK7ZB, PVC pipe boom and alu tube elements;

since I don’t have a crimper, will probably abandon the BNC-BNC part and mount RG-58 -> SMA directly to rediator element. (I struggled with making a good connection on the boom for the BNC, wanted to make it cool but without a crimper it sucks)
