Now I'm going to upgrade the boom to a better version.
Becouse a  4 el 15-meter OWA yagi will also be installed on the same boom.

The 10m yagi is assembled, and we measured the antenna yesterday (1m off the ground).
You can see the results below.

Before I TRY to put everything in the tower, we're going to assemble everything on the ground first to see how and where I need to reinforce it, if necessary. Where I live, it can get quite windy.

First time building the antenna...

We're going to be making some changes to my antenna systems again, and this time I'm installing some really large ones (for me).

I bought two yagi's from OT4A (see his QRZ page). I've known Theo for over 20 years now.
He's downgrading, so some antennas have become available.

5 el 14Mhz and a 6 el owa on 10m.

Theo lives on the other side of Belgium, about 230 km from where I live on the Belgian coast.

Together with my wife, we went for a weekend where we could visit some family who lived not far from Theo.

The first step was to transport everything in a safe way as the longest elements were just over 5m.

Photo 1 and 2 shows how the yagi's were driven to my family, where we then modified the trailer a bit so that we could secure everything properly.

We made it save home  the trip was about 3 hours.
