Some hams have been asking me about the smallest effective Yagi array you can build.

Your first instinct might be a standard 3-el beam.

But you can actually achieve solid directivity and F/B performance with the 2el HB9CV antenna.

In AN-SOF 11 we added Smart AWG Entry Support.

Type wire radii directly as an AWG gauge size (e.g., #14). When you press ENTER, the software calculates and converts the gauge into the numeric value of your active unit system (inches, millimeters, or meters).

AN-SOF 11 introduces the new "Split Wires" command, allowing you to subdivide selected wires into a specified number of portions.

The animation shows how you can subdivide the wires of a rectangular loop and visually join them in the workspace to build a skeleton slot antenna.

AN-SOF 11 introduces the new "Create Wire Gap" command, allowing you to quickly slice a precise gap into any wire with a single action.

The animation shows how you can slice a gap into a square loop to construct a Moxon antenna element, designed here as part of a Moxon-Yagi.
