Example 12 Element UHF (CH 14 - 51)

Here is a design for a 10 director Yagi cut for the UHF band (CH 14 - 51).

Build this using a 1X2 or 1X4 wood boom and elements cut from scrap 12, 10 or 8 gauge copper wire.

I've got a functional version of this in my attic, reliably receiving KBTC (PBS) over a one-edge path.

Rather than the 1/2 wave coax balun, I just soldered a store bought balun on and ran RG-6 from there.
