A triband VHF Yagi antenna for 6 m, 4 m and 2 m with one feed-point by DK7ZB

The Cushcraft X7 Tribander assembly and installation manual (P/N 951470, 12/97) provides comprehensive instructions for constructing this 20-15-10 meter seven-element beam antenna. It details the sequential assembly of boom sections, individual elements, and the feed system, including the _MNX7 Matching Network_. The document emphasizes critical safety precautions regarding power lines and RF exposure, alongside recommendations for proper antenna system planning and grounding. Key sections cover verification of parts, detailed boom assembly using specific aluminum tubing (e.g., BA, BB, BC, BD, BE) and brackets, and element construction with various aluminum tube sections (e.g., EA, EB, EC, ED, EE, EF) and traps like the _15 Meter Director Trap_ (TB) and _10 Meter Director Trap_ (T9). It also specifies the use of _NOALOX® conductive lubricant_ for telescoping sections and hardware to prevent galling. The manual outlines the feed system assembly, which includes feed-straps (FL1, FL2, FL3), tuning-tube insulators, and the matching network. It also mentions the optional X740 40-meter add-on kit, which requires a separate coax feed. Detailed diagrams and parts lists with metric equivalents facilitate accurate construction and ensure the antenna performs as specified.

Triband DK7ZB VHF Yagi antenna for 6 m, 4 m and 2 m with a single feedpoint

Based on a simple project based on a 2 elements Yagi for 20m band, and then becomed a triband yagi with a open-sleeve feed system

A cost-effective alternative to the Optibeam OB10-3W, a high-performance but expensive tri-band Yagi antenna for the 20, 17, and 15-meter bands. The original Optibeam, featuring three full-size elements on each band, delivers strong forward gain and front-to-back ratio but comes with a high price tag. To address this, a custom design was developed, offering similar performance at a fraction of the cost. Using accessible materials and a simple 1:1 current balun, the homemade version proved highly effective, making it a practical solution.
