VA2AM Mosley PRO 96-2 - 2011/09/01 16:27
I refurbished like new one this Mosley PRO 96-2 yagi and I spent more 100 hours in the process.
Boom is 36 ‘ or 10.2m, 3 ele on 40 m, 4 ele on 20-17-15-12 and 6 ele on 10m, weight: 78 kg
Gain is 7.8dbd on 40 m, 9.5 dbd on 20m and 10.5 dbd on 10 m
Side rejection (90 degrees is >56 db (S-9 signal is completely gone)
I could had another 50 hours on the tower (new plate, 1/8” angle, Alfa Spide rotator, cables, scheduled pipe 2.5” union with 8x 9/16” bolts, rotator plate.
Trylon tower T-400-80 (25m) in use for 17 years.
I get +20-30 db signal on 40-20-17m in Europe zone 14 to 16 (200w to 1.5 Kw)
Antenna has been installed 2 weeks ago and I did just few calls as test seen right after I rebuilt my radio room.
I created a pile-up on 17m by calling Asia only this morning around 9 am (13 utc) I did rare one like Korea, Macao, Phillipines, China and of course Japan.
