Dualband 10/15m |
DK7ZB-Dualband-Beam 10/15 m
The beam has only one feedpoint with 50 Ohm and has an open-sleeve element for 10 m
The bandwidth on 10 m is narrow, the designed part of the 10-m-Band is for SSB
10 m: 4,7 dBd 10 dB F/B
15 m: 4,2 dBd 10 dB F/B

The scheme of the beam with the currents for 28,5 MHz
Number | Tube | Length |
1 | 25x2 mm | 200 cm |
2,4, 7, 9 | 20x2 mm | 150 cm (+15 cm overlap) |
3,5 | 16x1,5 mm | 108 cm (+ 15 cm overlap) |
6 | 25x2 mm | 2x 99 cm (2 cm gap in the center) |
8, 10 | 16x1,5 mm | 85,5 cm (+15 cm overlap) |
11, 14 | 20x2 mm | 100 cm |
12, 13 | 16x1,5 mm | 208,5 cm (+15 cm overlap) |
15, 16 | 16x1,5 mm | 200 cm (+15 cm overlap) |
Element lengths for the two bands, keep the outer tubes 15 cm longer for the overlap. The open-sleeve-element for 10 m and the reflectors can be mounted direct above the boom (metallic connection), but do not use big metallic brackets! This can detune the beam! |
