FEATURES:
The 20M5-125 is the perfect balance between wind area and performance. It features improved gain and F/B across
the 20 meter band. The 20M5-125 mph is computer optimized mechanically for maximum strength for it's wind area.
Mother nature will hate this one! Two different optimization options allow the antenna to be customized for your
bandwidth and performance preferences, Plots with gain and F/B figures are supplied. Physically, the 20M5-125 Yagi
features tapered elements, each element is secured with a pair of machined, 1/2" thick aluminum boom-to-element clamp
plates. The clamps also permit spacing adjustments on the 3" x .125" wall boom. Elements taper in size from 1-1/2" to the
adjustable 1/2" tips and are single and double sleeved at critical points to achieve a 125 MPH wind survival rating. All
