yagi home brew help
Hey guys I attempted with little success my first home brew yagi using the make your own yagi web based java program.
I used a 2x4 96" long with all the elements being some rod I had laying around.
It works great on the sites that are close but the one that is 25 miles away is my diamond I am trying to reach. Just so close. Yet so far away. This would be the ideal antenna for the job I want. I am just mointoring a VHF digital system. 3600 baud rate. I am getting 700 on my signal strength. On the decode tons of errors. Can not monitor anything with all garbage in the back ground.
Can anyone offer me a new fresh idea on how to build one. I just felt like I got kicked in the nuts with this project. Looks like what it should. I am guessing I am missing something so easy. Even better if someone wants to build me one I will even pay you.
