The HB9CV-Beam is a 2-Element-Yagi with two driven elements and was introduced by Rudolf Baumgartner, HB9CV in the 1950ies. This beam antenna is a coax-feeded version of the ZL-Special construction by DK7ZB for 2m, 6m and 10m

A 5 element wide spaced yagi for the 20m long path to Europe was installed at ZL6QH, the antenna is fed with a 600 ohm open wire feed line.

A homemade 10 element Yagi Beam Antenna for 50 Mhz by Rod Mackintosh, a NBS Yagi on a 13.2 metre boom.

YU7EF EF0206 2m Band 6 Element Yagi Antenna project, provides 11.8 dbi gain

A stacked Yagi array for ZL1SIX 2m WSPR

A small Yagi antenna for camper van. It is made of aluminum tubing, breaks down for storage, and works well for communicating with others. He built it in an afternoon and it gets good signal. The antenna is lightweight and can be packed up to fit inside his van while traveling

Operating on the 60m band requires specialized antennas, and the 2 Element HB9CV, also known as the _ZL special_, excels in this domain. With a gain of **7.3 dBi** when phased at a 162-degree shift, it rivals traditional 3-element Yagi antennas, making it a solid option for enhancing 60m operations. The construction process is thoroughly detailed, providing insights into its performance and practical applications. Real-world comparisons demonstrate that the HB9CV antenna outperforms long Beverage antennas by an average of **5.5 dB** in reception, showcasing its effectiveness in various conditions. Insights from Mr. Cebik's analysis further validate its design, confirming its capability to maximize communication on the 60m band.
