M2 - 2M8WL - 24 ELEMENTS YAGI BEAM ANTENNA FOR 2 METERS - 144 MHz - LONG BOOM - VERY HIGH GAIN

M2 Enterprises, a company created by Mike Staal, ex-designer and co-founder of KLM, produces antennas of the highest quality.
The models have all been designed and analyzed on the computer using the most sophisticated optimization techniques, and made with precision machinery using the highest quality materials: 6063-T832 aluminum reinforced, thick aluminum or steel blocks, screws always in stainless steel, power points always perfectly sealed and waterproofed and are consequently
very highly resistant to wind and weather.
The cost of such antennas is adequate to the quality of the product, which is definitely an investment destined to last many years without mechanical problems and with the maximum electrical efficiency obtainable.

FEATURES:

The 2M8WL was developed for Jim, W6JKV, VHF DXpeditioner par excellance. Jim likes 2 & 6 meter EME
and a single 2M8WL provides the gain requirement to make EME contacts with even small 4 yagi stations.
It passes the echo test by producing its own audible echos even when pointed up with no ground gain!
Obviously it is dynamite on Tropo! There's absolutely nothing else like it. Structurally, it features the same
highly reliable, CNC machined, driven element components used on our other VHF and UHF yagis. The
boom tapers from 2" in the 10 foot middle section to 1" at the rear and 3/4" at the front. It is top and side
guyed with dacron cord. The side guy is supported by a 3/8" diameter fiberglass rod. The entire antenna
packs in a 5ft. long box that the airlines don't seem to mind. Whether you are taking a trip or using it at
home, you’ll be impressed!
