well I can safely say without test it forget about five kilometres the King

it forget about five kilometres the King

it forget about five kilometres the King of distance when it comes to antennas is

of distance when it comes to antennas is

of distance when it comes to antennas is the cantenna and then if you want to

push it even further than that

push it even further than that use a parabolic dish and the container

use a parabolic dish and the container

use a parabolic dish and the container as the feed point and that really is the

going to scan is a hundred and sixty

going to scan is a hundred and sixty five meters away from me which is around

five meters away from me which is around

five meters away from me which is around five hundred and forty feet and I've got

five hundred and forty feet and I've got

five hundred and forty feet and I've got no wind us here in the lab so it's

no wind us here in the lab so it's

no wind us here in the lab so it's straight off the bat it's cutting

straight off the bat it's cutting

straight off the bat it's cutting through a brick wall and I know exactly

okay so let's give this a scan then the

okay so let's give this a scan then the name of the access point we're looking

name of the access point we're looking

name of the access point we're looking for is the office repeater so let's see

for is the office repeater so let's see

for is the office repeater so let's see when it comes up an office repeater is

when it comes up an office repeater is

when it comes up an office repeater is there at the top it's currently at 78%

there at the top it's currently at 78%

there at the top it's currently at 78% which means you can connect to this

which means you can connect to this

which means you can connect to this you'd have good internet speed and you

you'd have good internet speed and you

you'd have good internet speed and you know a nice time browsing the Internet

sending and receiving email so you can

sending and receiving email so you can see it's picked up quite a few where

see it's picked up quite a few where

see it's picked up quite a few where access points they're the 100% ones just

access points they're the 100% ones just

access points they're the 100% ones just ignore those because they are my access

ignore those because they are my access

ignore those because they are my access points here in their lab but let's put

points here in their lab but let's put

points here in their lab but let's put this on a graph and you can see they're

this on a graph and you can see they're

this on a graph and you can see they're nice and strong nice read and you know

nice and strong nice read and you know

nice and strong nice read and you know generally a good connection so let's put

generally a good connection so let's put

generally a good connection so let's put the Wi-Fi going on then and see what

the Wi-Fi going on then and see what

the Wi-Fi going on then and see what kind of signal we get from that so here

kind of signal we get from that so here

kind of signal we get from that so here we are then we've now got the Wi-Fi gone

we are then we've now got the Wi-Fi gone

we are then we've now got the Wi-Fi gone in place so let's give it a second scan

in place so let's give it a second scan

in place so let's give it a second scan I remember while looking for the access

I remember while looking for the access

I remember while looking for the access point office repeater so scanning away

so so far I can't see the access point

so so far I can't see the access point

so so far I can't see the access point that we are looking for one thing that

that we are looking for one thing that

that we are looking for one thing that you probably noticed from the screen

you probably noticed from the screen

you probably noticed from the screen already is we're getting far more access

already is we're getting far more access

already is we're getting far more access points in the black Amber's and the

points in the black Amber's and the

points in the black Amber's and the greens there compared to the cantina

greens there compared to the cantina

greens there compared to the cantina because the cantenna

because the cantenna

because the cantenna one of its downsides it has a lot of

one of its downsides it has a lot of

one of its downsides it has a lot of range but it has a very very narrow beam

range but it has a very very narrow beam

width whereas a Yardley antenna doesn't

width whereas a Yardley antenna doesn't have quite as much range but it's much

have quite as much range but it's much

have quite as much range but it's much wider so it can pick up more access

wider so it can pick up more access

wider so it can pick up more access points but it just can't go the distance

points but it just can't go the distance

points but it just can't go the distance and so far up there you go there's

and so far up there you go there's

and so far up there you go there's office repeater it connected slightly

office repeater it connected slightly

office repeater it connected slightly and it got 54% but now it's connecting

and it got 54% but now it's connecting

and it got 54% but now it's connecting there is showing it connected again so

there is showing it connected again so

there is showing it connected again so let's put that on the graph and you can

let's put that on the graph and you can

let's put that on the graph and you can clearly see with the graph there it's

clearly see with the graph there it's

clearly see with the graph there it's much lower than the counter know that

much lower than the counter know that

much lower than the counter know that cantenna was up in the 80s this is down

cantenna was up in the 80s this is down

cantenna was up in the 80s this is down below the 50% mark so not very good to

certainly below the 50% mark now I did

certainly below the 50% mark now I did spot a problem with this antenna in the

spot a problem with this antenna in the

spot a problem with this antenna in the actual video so let me set the camera up

actual video so let me set the camera up

actual video so let me set the camera up back on the bench and I'll show you what

back on the bench and I'll show you what

back on the bench and I'll show you what I think the problem is with this

I think the problem is with this

I think the problem is with this particular design so now I'm going to

particular design so now I'm going to

particular design so now I'm going to show you the problem with this design as

show you the problem with this design as

show you the problem with this design as it is and it's a problem with the

it is and it's a problem with the

it is and it's a problem with the construction of this you quickly saw the

construction of this you quickly saw the

construction of this you quickly saw the plans pop up on the screen in the video

plans pop up on the screen in the video

plans pop up on the screen in the video but plans you know quite often aren't

but plans you know quite often aren't

but plans you know quite often aren't enough you need to know how it's all

enough you need to know how it's all

enough you need to know how it's all constricted and put together and the

constricted and put together and the

constricted and put together and the biggest flow of this is with the driven

biggest flow of this is with the driven

biggest flow of this is with the driven element the driven element needs to be

element the driven element needs to be

element the driven element needs to be isolated from the rest of the antenna it

isolated from the rest of the antenna it

isolated from the rest of the antenna it needs to be isolated from the boom and

needs to be isolated from the boom and

needs to be isolated from the boom and needs to be isolated from all these

needs to be isolated from all these

needs to be isolated from all these parasitic elements here and it needs to

parasitic elements here and it needs to

parasitic elements here and it needs to be isolated from that reflector so the

be isolated from that reflector so the

be isolated from that reflector so the driven element is effectively sure

driven element is effectively sure

driven element is effectively sure it out to the rest of the antenna and

it out to the rest of the antenna and

it out to the rest of the antenna and that is not a good thing you effectively

that is not a good thing you effectively

that is not a good thing you effectively you don't have an antenna here now if

you don't have an antenna here now if

you don't have an antenna here now if you're using a Wi-Fi card with this for

you're using a Wi-Fi card with this for

you're using a Wi-Fi card with this for an extended period of time you could end

an extended period of time you could end

an extended period of time you could end up damaging your Wi-Fi card if you were

up damaging your Wi-Fi card if you were

up damaging your Wi-Fi card if you were to in fact hooked a amplifier up to this

to in fact hooked a amplifier up to this

to in fact hooked a amplifier up to this as well as your Wi-Fi card you would

as well as your Wi-Fi card you would

as well as your Wi-Fi card you would certainly blow that amplifier it

certainly blow that amplifier it

certainly blow that amplifier it wouldn't last very long at all so what

wouldn't last very long at all so what

wouldn't last very long at all so what can we do to fix this so what we can do

can we do to fix this so what we can do

can we do to fix this so what we can do is use some heat shrink tubing put it on

is use some heat shrink tubing put it on

is use some heat shrink tubing put it on the boom and the two nuts that are

the boom and the two nuts that are

the boom and the two nuts that are holding the main driven elements in

holding the main driven elements in

holding the main driven elements in place and isolate it from the rest of

place and isolate it from the rest of

place and isolate it from the rest of the boom of the yagi now as far as yarby

the boom of the yagi now as far as yarby

the boom of the yagi now as far as yarby design is concerned there's a lot of hot

design is concerned there's a lot of hot

design is concerned there's a lot of hot debate especially with the ham radio

debate especially with the ham radio

debate especially with the ham radio guys whether it's best to use a isolated

guys whether it's best to use a isolated

guys whether it's best to use a isolated boom or a metal boom and have all your

boom or a metal boom and have all your

boom or a metal boom and have all your parasitic elements in your reflector

parasitic elements in your reflector

parasitic elements in your reflector connected together as one unit or use a

connected together as one unit or use a

connected together as one unit or use a completely isolated boom so they're all

completely isolated boom so they're all

completely isolated boom so they're all independent through each other and

independent through each other and

independent through each other and that's a argument that's gone on for

that's a argument that's gone on for

that's a argument that's gone on for decades I personally don't think there's

decades I personally don't think there's

decades I personally don't think there's any difference can make it a little bit

any difference can make it a little bit

any difference can make it a little bit easier to use a boom that set isolated

easier to use a boom that set isolated

easier to use a boom that set isolated from the rest because then you don't

from the rest because then you don't

from the rest because then you don't have to worry about house it isolating

have to worry about house it isolating

have to worry about house it isolating the manger of an element but for me I've

the manger of an element but for me I've

the manger of an element but for me I've built both and I don't see much a

built both and I don't see much a

built both and I don't see much a performance difference between either of

performance difference between either of

performance difference between either of them as long as you isolate the main

them as long as you isolate the main

them as long as you isolate the main driven element you will have a working

driven element you will have a working

driven element you will have a working yardie so now that we've modified the

yardie so now that we've modified the

yardie so now that we've modified the antenna then let's give it another scan

antenna then let's give it another scan

antenna then let's give it another scan and hopefully fingers crossed we've

and hopefully fingers crossed we've

and hopefully fingers crossed we've improved it so we'll just let everything

improved it so we'll just let everything

improved it so we'll just let everything load up and here it is already I can see

load up and here it is already I can see

load up and here it is already I can see it's at 86% so it's a definite

it's at 86% so it's a definite

it's at 86% so it's a definite improvement so we've certainly pushed it

improvement so we've certainly pushed it

improvement so we've certainly pushed it up into the 80% mark there so we'll

up into the 80% mark there so we'll

up into the 80% mark there so we'll definitely get a good internet

definitely get a good internet

definitely get a good internet connection if we were to connect to that

connection if we were to connect to that

connection if we were to connect to that particular access point but as you can

particular access point but as you can

particular access point but as you can see it's you know this access point is

see it's you know this access point is

see it's you know this access point is nowhere near at five kilometers and even

nowhere near at five kilometers and even

nowhere near at five kilometers and even if you had a line of sight

if you had a line of sight

if you had a line of sight five kilometers and low humidity ie

five kilometers and low humidity ie

five kilometers and low humidity ie it's not raining or anything like that

it's not raining or anything like that

it's not raining or anything like that you certainly would not be able to

you certainly would not be able to

you certainly would not be able to connect to an access point using this

connect to an access point using this

connect to an access point using this particular antenna and now that it's no

particular antenna and now that it's no

particular antenna and now that it's no longer shorted out between the driven

longer shorted out between the driven

longer shorted out between the driven element and the rest of the yagi antenna

element and the rest of the yagi antenna

element and the rest of the yagi antenna the connection itself is a lot more

the connection itself is a lot more

the connection itself is a lot more stable it's not dropping out and it's

stable it's not dropping out and it's

stable it's not dropping out and it's holding itself at just above eighty

holding itself at just above eighty

holding itself at just above eighty percent a really nice strong signal so

percent a really nice strong signal so

percent a really nice strong signal so we'll definitely make a video in the

we'll definitely make a video in the

we'll definitely make a video in the future and we will take this particular

future and we will take this particular

future and we will take this particular design of yagi antenna and use it in

design of yagi antenna and use it in

design of yagi antenna and use it in conjunction with a waveguide cam Center

conjunction with a waveguide cam Center

conjunction with a waveguide cam Center and hopefully then we can get something

and hopefully then we can get something

and hopefully then we can get something a little bit more powerful but certainly

a little bit more powerful but certainly

a little bit more powerful but certainly when it's talking in the range of five

when it's talking in the range of five

when it's talking in the range of five kilometers you really are pushing it I

kilometers you really are pushing it I

kilometers you really are pushing it I mean that's in the kind of range way you

mean that's in the kind of range way you

mean that's in the kind of range way you would need to use a parabolic reflector

would need to use a parabolic reflector

would need to use a parabolic reflector so as you saw in the video then with the

so as you saw in the video then with the

so as you saw in the video then with the little modification you do get a much

little modification you do get a much

little modification you do get a much better performing antenna and I will do

better performing antenna and I will do

better performing antenna and I will do a video where we take this kind of

a video where we take this kind of

a video where we take this kind of design and use it in conjunction with a

design and use it in conjunction with a

design and use it in conjunction with a cantenna

cantenna

cantenna make them both together to get a

make them both together to get a

make them both together to get a particularly directional and much longer

particularly directional and much longer

particularly directional and much longer range antenna but you are pushing you

range antenna but you are pushing you

range antenna but you are pushing you look to try and get five kilometers even

look to try and get five kilometers even

look to try and get five kilometers even line-of-sight and even in best

line-of-sight and even in best

line-of-sight and even in best conditions now I didn't go of the

conditions now I didn't go of the

conditions now I didn't go of the measurements too much in this video

measurements too much in this video

measurements too much in this video because I will do that when I do a video

because I will do that when I do a video

because I will do that when I do a video on this but just as a side note the main

on this but just as a side note the main

on this but just as a side note the main driven element here going off those

driven element here going off those

driven element here going off those measurements in the video is 68

measurements in the video is 68

measurements in the video is 68 millimeters now that just seems a little

millimeters now that just seems a little

millimeters now that just seems a little bit too big to me I mean for this kind

bit too big to me I mean for this kind

bit too big to me I mean for this kind of element you're probably looking at

of element you're probably looking at

of element you're probably looking at about 60 to 63 millimeters I'll have to

about 60 to 63 millimeters I'll have to

about 60 to 63 millimeters I'll have to do a little bit of experimentation and

do a little bit of experimentation and

do a little bit of experimentation and some of my notes and read a couple of my

some of my notes and read a couple of my

some of my notes and read a couple of my books on this but certainly 68

books on this but certainly 68

books on this but certainly 68 millimeters does seem a little bit big

millimeters does seem a little bit big

millimeters does seem a little bit big well antenna like this anyway is going

well antenna like this anyway is going

well antenna like this anyway is going to be extremely broadband so it working

to be extremely broadband so it working

to be extremely broadband so it working you know quite a lot wider spectrum and

you know quite a lot wider spectrum and

you know quite a lot wider spectrum and the frequency for you know 2.4 gigahertz

the frequency for you know 2.4 gigahertz

the frequency for you know 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi but that
