In March 2025, I finally got my 2-element 40m beam up in the air on tower number 2. Many thanks to Dean.
The antenna is an Andy Coman beam, similar to the Cushcraft XM240.
The antenna came from Bob VK3SX.
We also placed a CB vertical antenna above the yagi, and that afternoon, Dean and I could not believe 27 mhz, it was wide open all around Australia. We even spoke into New Zealand.
