The second in a series of contesting videos taken in July 2020 showing the Yaesu FT-991A in action on 6m, high up in the Yorkshire Dales with my home-made Mini-Horse antenna. This is a folded yagi which costs a few £/$/€ to make 👍🏻 My second only go at 6m contesting and first time portable. See how I get on!
The build and first home-trial of this antenna design can be found at:
youtube.com/watch?v=-edYYrHTQhk&t=442s
youtube.com/watch?v=JYpM6QiLyRY&t=543s
The other two contesting videos from this series can be found below and these show just how different VHF & UHF frequencies can perform:
2m Contesting: youtube.com/watch?v=OaOjFkfc4ug&t=27s
70cm Contesting: youtube.com/watch?v=9POQOl_rE-o
This is one of many amateur/ham radio related videos on my channel. Please feel free to browse 👀, like 👍🏻 and subscribe 🔔, remembering to hit the bell so you’re notified of new videos.
