The next step in our EME project is to assemble the four M2 Antenna Systems 2MXP28 Yagis. The four EME Antennas in our array will have a total of 112 elements! These antennas are large, cross-polarized yagis. They feature 28 elements each on 34 1/2 foot booms…
We are building four M2 2MXP28 Antennas to be mounted on an M2 Antennas 2X2 H-Frame. It is important that the four antennas be identical so they operate properly as an array. This includes things like symmetrical mounting and alignment of each antenna’s vertical and horizontal elements and the associated feed points.
The article in the link above covers the steps, tips, and tricks that we are using to assemble four of these large, 2m X-pol Yagi Antennas. The approach, tools, and techniques are applicable to a wide range of VHF and UHF Yagi antennas.
