20 Meter Yagi Antenna Designs and Construction Plans
Find various plans and resources for building 20-meter Yagi antennas, including monoband and portable options.
Yagi antennas for the 20-meter band are a popular choice for hams seeking directional gain and improved signal-to-noise ratio on 14 MHz. This band is excellent for DX, and a well-designed Yagi can make a significant difference in working distant stations, especially during contests or when propagation is challenging. Operators often build monoband Yagis to optimize performance specifically for 20 meters, focusing on gain, front-to-back ratio, and bandwidth.
This section provides numerous designs for 20-meter Yagis, ranging from compact 2-element models suitable for portable or Field Day operations to larger 5-element or even 7-element arrays for serious DXers. Many plans include details on matching systems like the DK7ZB match, while others, such as the W2PV 4-element Yagi, are classic designs from the ARRL Antenna Handbook. You'll find options for both permanent installations and lightweight wire Yagis for temporary setups, helping hams improve their signal on this vital HF band.
