3 element Band 3 antenna
(2015-08-05) PE1ITR
3 elements 195 MHz Yagi
A friend of mine PE1RDP found a nice antenna and old antenna. It was used as a link between a remote studio to the broadcast station.
It looked I could use it for DAB reception. So I measured how this antenna performed.
Bandwidth: 187 - 202MHz. This covers DAB channel 6a to 8d. I think its usable from channel 6a to 10b. The dipole is fed with a gamma match construction.
The gain will be around 7.5dbi.
