20M6LD
The 20M6LD (Light Duty) is brand new. It features the same on air performance as it's very popular, heavy weight brother, the 20M6, but it is much lighter weight. We listened to our customers and have carefully reduced it's weight significantly while reducing the wind survival rating by only 10 MPH. The 20M6 has the same clean pattern and great gain across the band. We have also made it a "Direct Feed" yagi requiring no matching, only a 1:1 balun. It is easier and quicker to assemble, as well as easier to install. Stacking a pair will cost less and put less stress on your tower. Mechanically, a pair of machined 3/8" x 4" aluminum boom to element plates and saddles ground each parasitic element and keep elements aligned perfectly for years to come. Elemenets taper in 1/4" steps from 1 1/4" to the adjustable 1/2" tips. The re-designed 59 foot x 3" boom is a full 1/8" wall in the center section but the tips are half the weight at 1/16" wall. All critical hardware is stainless steel. The 20M6LD is available through our fine distributors, worldwide. For your 100 MPH + hilltoppers, we make a Survivor Series.
*We now offer 1:1 baluns in 3 power ranges; 2.5, 5 and 10 kW. Be sure to pick you favorite when purchasing the 20M6LD.".
