[OMIK] Yagi-Uda Beam is 100 yrs old

[Lloyd Mitchell KO4L]

The Yagi-Uda beam antenna was invented 100 years ago, in 1926, and Contest
University (CTU) is celebrating its centennial with a live Zoom webinar
this Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 1600 UTC (noon Eastern). The free
webinar, titled “The Yagi Turns 100,” will be presented by Greg Ordy,
W8WWV, and will be available online at w3lif.org/yagi. Ordy will walk
through the history of this amazing antenna that has been a mainstay of
amateur radio DXing and contesting for a century. There is no
pre-registration for this event. Click on the link (above) before 1600 Zulu
on Saturday to watch. Contest University Chairman Tim Duffy, K3LR, and
Scott Jones, N3RA, will be monitoring the chat during the presentation and
will relay questions from viewers to Ordy at the conclusion of his talk.
