| The OB8-4M is an extremely effective, compact and innovative Yagi for the classical four bands 40, 20, 15 and 10m. It is the first trapless Yagi for this frequency spectrum in the world with a single 50 Ohm coaxial feed and with two powerful Moxon Rectangles integrated in its design to improve performance. A mechanically brilliant power house without compromise, the next level of antenna performance! |
