The OB12-4 is a high
effective Yagi for the classical four bands 40, 20, 15 and 10m,
four monobanders on one boom.
->
The OptiBeam high Q
air coil reduces the length of the 40m elements nearly lossfree
down to a little bit below convenient 15 meters.
->
Due to the patented OptiBeam „direct coupled
driver feed system“ and the especially
developed „40m decoupling stubs“ a non
compromise feed with a single 50 Ohm coaxial
cable is achieved.
