"Home Brew" Antennas
February 26
If you weren't there, you missed a good discussion and Show / Talk n' Tell about home made antennas at the meeting tonight. There are many designs for Home Brew antennas that work great and can be built for minimal cost. We all get excited about that new Rig, but 75% of your effort and research should be in the areas of Antennas and Transmission systems. With that said, below are some links to projects you may want to consider:
Some that were discussed tonight were
Tape Measure Direction Finding Beam
Dual Band "J" Pole (see Feb 2003 QST)
Other Antenna Information
P.S. Pay special attention to Direction Finding antennas, as we will plan a Fox Hunt as our Fall Activity.
