I am curious why you have gone to the hairpin/direct feed as opposed to the capacitance feed beams typically come with ? What’s the upside/advantage ? Thx 73s

I’m having problem with the zoomr8 …I’ve been using it for over 6 months and it was perfect thanks to you … now I have no modulation but the radio still keys down ..I’ve checked everything possible…. Might buy a new cable or zoom….any possible suggestions you have would be appreciated thank for everything

I am lucky enough to live in the same town as Deer Slayer. He is a class act. He has went above and beyond helping us get back into the land of DX. 73s

Hey Deerslayer. I just bought the Zoom R8. Any chance you may have some ideas on settings for a RCI 2995dx HP the newer version. I do have Wideband transmit and recieve done to the radio. I tried using the settings you had in the video but I am trying to figure out how to get that sound you got. I have talked to you a few times when skip is good. Thanks. MR. Watts waving from North Carolina

interesting build. I'm thinking of building a beam antenna but that swr slide adjustment seems to me at least be shorting out the coax incoming signal? If I took an ohm meter wouldn't measure a short circuit? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks i just bought a r8 with asymod works great 383 tampa bay waving 👍

I record Music at home and have Interface, DAW a lot of different mics with a lot of plugins for vocals. I have yet to incorporate it to my CB radio stuff. One of these days I will have to play with adding my Music stuff to my CB. Great Video

Is that where it tunes at or closer to front of beam ?

And by the coax being on the bottom,it's protected from the weather.👍🏿

Wished I had the manual for mine. Didn’t come with it. Hopefully cable is correct to connect to computer. Not sure how to do it.

You were a great help in setting up my board. Thank you so much for making this video.

what's the model numbers of the two microphone you show in the video

Hey buddy…. I haven’t heard ya out there hope all is well.. I think I’m going to steal your idea for my buddy’s beam I’m building for him how many watts do you think it will hold? Cause he has John DeLuna 955 in TX fixing his bread box as we a speak and it’s a 6 tube 3-500z box .. and where in Home Depot is this star board ? I’ve been using cutting boards from wallmart

I see the possibility arcing just at the lead edge of his elements on The hairpin the angle aluminum is way close

It definitely will work as a balun. A balun will help with rf traveling back down the exterior of the coax. Depending on the frequecy, the coax, etc a balun can become more necessary or useful.

All that work to listen to a bunch off LIDDS on CB talk over each other.🤣🤣

talked to you last sunday either on 6 or 11 and you sounded fantastic. amazing audio. 883 up around these great lakes

there's an easier way keep it as a dipole no hairpin. read the capacitance with an analyser use a bit of brain power. L = 1 / (2 × π × f × C then wind an inductor to the required size and place across the dipole centre. if your calculation and inductor are correct you'll have low swr.

That's great. . I'm sure he has all types of scientific reasons on why tand how this could possible happen😂😂😂 triple seven CT got down.

This was a fantastic video! Very informative and right to the point. Thank you for sharing. Very cool!

wow you must really like cb

How would a asymond radio sound with that Zoom 8

Thanks deerslayer , just got a zoom r8 , Wow! Added so much more fun to the radio hobby, thanks for sharing

The reason you want a current balun is that you get a cleaner pattern from your yagi. You also get less noise from common mode currents. The yagi will work quite well without the balun, but there is a measurable difference for sure. muehlhaus.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/pattern_nobalun2.png

What radio is this icom 718?

Good demo, dear slayer. " Skirt chaser"

Hey Deer Slayer how is the Radioddity QT40 working for you?

You sure sounded good on my radio. I have to wonder if a Stryker 955 or a cobra 25 will both allow that audio bandwidth.

Thanks for this video Deerslayer! I'm envious of your setup. Unfortunately I'm 73 years old and my state of health won't allow me to construct/ wrangle with/ otherwise handle something so big. I did make a simple PVC dipole and I use it to regularly talk skip. I've heard you on air many times and I'm located in eastern Nova Scotia (Nova Scotia131). Nice work!

You have good audio on am with this ts440?

Hi Deerslayer, i copy you in France loud and clear 😂! ruclips.net/user/shortsYyz3eKxR2Xc?si=_e8cFhmtXefCzx3Z

Ah......if we could only see RF ! Then we might witness the need for a Balun ! It's job, as I understand it, keeps the antennas pattern from being skewed, and Common Mode Currents off the Coaxial cable, so that it too, isn't transmitting RF back into the Shack and elsewhere ! And helps with RFI issues ! And I would encourage anyone interested, to searching up the information on Baluns, as there are a couple types ! Not saying your antenna won't play in it's current configuration, but after researching a bit, I think you may see where you can even get more power into the antenna, where it belongs, and likely keep your neighbors happy ! And who doesn't want that ? 👍😉

So you can, and other have fed balanced antennas with an unbalanced line such as coax, but they actually make Gamma matches for a reason. It would be simpler for a manufacturer to just make a hairpin/beta match for a coax connection, but they recommend that you use a balanced twin lead, or choke, or balun for their hairpin/beta type match.......If you try to decouple the RF energy from an unbalanced coax line directly to a balanced beam such as yours you run a risk of developing unwanted antenna currents on the outer shield of the coax. RF is stupid in that it can't tell the difference between the conductive antenna element or the conductive braid on a piece of coax. If you use a Gamma that always keeps the shield at ground potential it's much much more likely that most all of the energy will be decoupled properly to the elements instead of the coax.

Of course it works without a balun, but a balun is supposed to sharpen the directivity, by isolating the feed line.

This is good content

I'm able to pick up your signal on my handheld CB channel 26 In Ontario, Canada

316 in the keystone. talked to you one Saturday morning this summer. take care out there

I just watched a videogate with you on it sounded great. You were using a kenwood 440 is this the same set up for that radio? I just got a kenwood ts-440s. Was wondering if you had to do any modifications to sound that good or just using the zoom with nothing done to the radio?

You should work with a vertical dipole antenna like the Sirio GainMaster which ia 10 - 11 -12meter antenna without tuning. When you set that antenna up your SWR is 1.0:1 on all frequencies! And the Fiber Optic structure will make you send your signal all over the world!!!

Just a lil ground plane 23 ft up... funny right there!

Lol.. first time I heard ya say bye bye bye. Nice gate!

How long are the elements on each side?

Bring the feed points closer together and you will not need the hairpin match. This is not a hairpin match, it is just a tuning stub

what a load of nonsense

LOL. Humor and absurdity exists in this world and CB comprises 95% of the world supply. the remainder 2% are politicians and 3% are incarcerated

Evening time Deerslayer. I talked to you a few nights ago out of Mississippi(328). We talked about your Zoom and me being on an EQ plus trying it out. Since then I’ve ordered a new Zoom r8 and that cable. Appreciate the input that night. I believe I will end up with much better and more broad sounding audio once I find that happy spot for my setup. Again, thanks for the chat. Three2Eight in the Magnolia.

Hey mike.thought I'd throw a hollow your way.hope you and the family are well and swell.sounding good across the pond.take care god bless 387 Chris the weakest station in the nation.👍

Great gate. Sierra 880 told ya.
