OptiBeam OB9 5HD Yagi Ham Radio Antenna, assembly and mounting on Mast

Описание к видео OptiBeam OB9 5HD Yagi Ham Radio Antenna, assembly and mounting on Mast

I bought this Antenna from another Ham Radio Operator here in Florida. I am a new Ham, just passed my General License Exam on 03-14-2023. I purchased my first used Radio, a Kenwood TS-590S and I'm using it without any amplifier, just the stock 100 watts. When I assembled the antenna I had a few problems figuring out the manual. Only with the help of photos from the previous owner was I able to put the antenna together. So I'm posting this clip for anyone who also has some problems putting the same antenna together. In the end it worked out great and the antenna performs perfect. I made a few long distance contacts to verify how good this antenna works. The mast is just temporary until I can find a taller one. This one is about 40 feet tall and doesn't really clear the trees. I'm hoping to find a good deal on a taller mast in the near future. I also don't have a rotor yet so I put the antenna in a fixed position, pointing NE in hope to contact my friend in Germany. I'm really just in the beginning of the hobby and ad more components as time goes by. Thank you for watching KQ4GZQ Dade City Florida

Update: My new call sign is now KY4XV
