Yagi beam plans for 144MHz band

A 144 MHz kilowatt amplifier project details the construction and performance of a high-power VHF linear using the GU74b tetrode. This Russian tube, equivalent to the Svetlana 4CX800, is noted for its conservative datasheet ratings, performing closer to 800-1000W anode dissipation in practical applications. The design prioritizes compactness and achieves 1.2 kW output with only 20W of drive power, demonstrating a 70% efficiency at 2.5 kV plate voltage. The amplifier has been successfully deployed in demanding _EME_ (Earth-Moon-Earth) operations since June 1994. Challenges encountered during development included achieving stability with a grid-1 input configuration. The author, _CT1DMK_, opted not to publish the full design due to its complexity, suggesting it might be difficult for less experienced builders to replicate successfully. However, he invites direct contact for those with specific interest in the design. Future plans include a "144MHz GS35b compact amplifier" project, promising another kilowatt-plus design. This resource offers insights into high-power VHF amplifier construction and the practical application of specific power tubes.

Yagi Calculator is a free Windows program that also runs well on Linux, Ubuntu 8.10 under Wine, to produce dimensions for a DL6WU style long Yagi antenna. Long yagis are commonly used from the 144MHz amateur band to the 2.4GHz band.

This article describes the 144MHz horizontally polarised antenna at VK1OD in November 2008. The antenna uses two identical four element arrays that were constructed around 1970

Over two decades of historical DX spots and news are archived on this Japanese resource, providing a retrospective look at amateur radio propagation and activity across various bands. The content is organized chronologically, with separate sections for _50MHz_, _HF DX_, _144MHz_, _EME_, and Satellite clusters, detailing spot data from as early as 1996 through 2014. This extensive archive serves as a valuable historical record for analyzing long-term propagation trends and significant DXpeditions from a Japanese perspective, offering insights into band openings and rare entity activations. The resource also includes links to other DX news sites like _425 DX News_ and _Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin_, along with QSL manager lookups and callbook services, enhancing its utility as a comprehensive DX information hub. While the primary cluster data is historical, the compilation of external links points to active resources for current DX operations. This makes it a useful reference for contesters and DXers researching past conditions or seeking information on specific DX entities and their QSL routes.
