DB42 from SteppIR

The DB42 is the largest of the current range of tuneable yagis, with 5 elements on bands from 20-6m, and 3 elements on 40 and 30m. There is an optional 80m dipole, which consists of a wire element parallel to the boom, which is connected to the end loop elements to provide efficient linear loading. The driven element for 40 and 30m is the extremely efficient 49ft looped dipole. The 6m optional element kit adds 3 elements to the antenna on that band, giving 8 elements on that band with a whopping 14.0 dB gain and 25dB front to rear ratio.
