In this video I build my latest homebrew 15m Yagi using fibreglass poles and insulated wire, install it at around 13 metres, measure the SWR and impedance, then put it straight on the air.

The surprise? It came out at around 45Ω, needing nothing more than a choke at the feedpoint.

Finally, it's time for the real test... can a lightweight homebrew Yagi work DX? Amazing :)

If you'd like to build one yourself, the dimensions are shown at the end of the video.
