Want a bigger 28MHz antenna?

Nick G4IKZ has just sent me this link to G0SXC's QRZ.com page showing his massive yagi for 28MHz. It has a boom length of 78 feet and a gain of 13.1dBd. Remember that each element is about 16 feet long, so you get an idea what a monster this is. I bet his neighbours must love him! This also explains why Kevin is such a consistent signal in East Anglia some 200 miles away.

Especially since his QTH, according to Google Maps, is a row of back to backs in Clitheroe. You would think that you could see an antenna that size from the aerial photo.

And my wife complains that my 4 foot square 28MHz wire halo is an eyesore!

Just noticed the road parallel to Kevin's is called Tower Hill. Very apt.

Must be using stealth technology.
