    New heights in terms of GT for low noise Yagis

    Posted: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/2021/december/new-heights-in-terms-of-gt-for-low-noise-yagis.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email

    I have been using my new GT optimising techniques to better the G/T results

    opinion score (Gain over Temperature) which gives an indication of the
    ability of a Yagi to receive weak signals
