If i build a yagi 800mhz antenna for 800mhz even, how far will it receive +/- the 800mhz even frequency? also it has reflector, drive element, and 9 directors
there are too many variables to answer that specifically.
It depends on antenna height, location to adjacent objects, if the trees have leaves on them or not, what the weather conditions are, what coax you use.
A typical beam will get you around 150 miles in my neck of the woods, on top of mountains in Tennessee, but if you live in the plains, that could be much less, as little as 30 miles.
i was just wondering how far a beam would go off the center frequency. i have no plan yet. I was getting some info from k7mem site for building an yagi. When i build it i will let you know
