PVC Wire Yagi Antenna

thingiverse

This is an antenna I designed which uses 3/4 PVC as a boom and wire coat hangers for elements. This is a 3 element 2 meter Yagi, however by extending the boom it's easy to keep adding elements. The printed element mounts fit on 3/4 inch gray PVC, but to make a more snug fit I added a piece of electrical tape on the inside of the mount. I also put super glue where the wire enters the printed mounts just to ensure the wire doesn't shift. Since the mounts aren't permanently attached, they can be removed for easier storage. Element Lengths: Reflector - 41 inches Driven - 37 3/4 inches Director - 36 5/8 inches Spacing from Director Director ->10 7/8" -> Driven -> 18"-> Reflector Here's the blogpost about it: https://www.truehamfashion.com/2023/10/3d-printed-yagi-for-iss.html
