Maco YQSK Y-Quad Stacking Kit
More information
The Maco YQSK (Y-Quad Stacking Kit) is a heavy-duty accessory specifically engineered to stack two Maco Y-Quad antennas. By creating a vertical or horizontal array, this kit provides a significant boost to directional gain and helps achieve a lower angle of radiation for superior DX (long-distance) performance.
Maco YQSK Y-Quad Stacking Kit
While the VQSK is for lighter V-Quad units, the YQSK is a more robust system designed to handle the larger footprint and higher performance of the Y-Quad series.
-
Maximum Gain Enhancement: Adds 3 dB of gain over a single antenna installation. When used with two Y-Quads (11 dB each), the total array gain reaches approximately 14 dB
-
Increased Directivity: Effectively doubles your power multiplication, providing a 28X power boost compared to a single dipole.
-
Superior Rejection: Enhances front-to-back separation and side-nulls, allowing you to “tune out” interference and focus exclusively on your target station.
-
Heavy-Duty Build: Features a significantly longer and stronger cross-boom than the VQSK to accommodate the physical dimensions of the Y-Quad elements.
Technical Specifications:
-
Frequency Range: 10 / 11 Meters (26–30 MHz)
-
Cross-Boom Length: 19 feet (approx. 5.8 meters)
-
Boom Diameter: 1.5 inches (O.D.)
-
Weight: 25 lbs (11.3 kg) – including the harness.
-
Wind Survival: 90 mph (145 kph)
-
Power Handling: Dependent on the Gamma matches of the antennas used (Standard up to 2kW).
Assembly & Compatibility:
-
Compatibility: Exclusively for Maco Y-Quad beam antennas.
-
Mounting: Due to the 19-foot boom and 25 lb weight, a heavy-duty rotor and robust tower/mast system are recommended for this setup.
-
Polarity: Supports the switchable polarity features inherent to the Y-Quad design.
Package Includes:
-
(1) 19-foot Aluminum Stacking Cross-Boom
-
(1) Specially phased Coaxial Stacking Harness
-
All necessary heavy-duty mounting clamps and hardware
-
Detailed assembly instructions for phased alignment
