6m Contesting - The Mini-Horse Rides Again! (with trusty sidekick, the Yaesu FT-991A) @G0CNN-Ian

Uploaded October 2020 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Another video in my contesting series playlist showing the FT-991A in action on 6m high up in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK with my home-made Mini-Horse antenna. This is a folded yagi which costs a few £/$/€ to make and can be applied to various bands👍🏻 The Mini-Horse is giving a very good show for itself as you'll see...

The build and first home-trial of this antenna design can be found at:
