23cm Antenna Designs

The only responsibilty I can claim for the designs that follow is for finding them on the web!

Many clever antenna designers have worked on designs for 1296MHz. For me, one of the interesting things about this band is the variety of weird and wonderful designs which can work on this band, compared to the ubiquitous yagi for VHF bands and the dish on the higher microwave bands.

These designs are drawn from a wide variety of web-sites. Take your own decisions on which you consider practical or accurate. I'd be glad to add opinion, thoughts or suggestions on any of these designs. ([email protected])
