2M Yagi Antenna: This antenna is my 'experimental' twist on the tape measure yagi antenna. I, like many readers, have built numerous 'tape measure' style antennae for the odd field day or DF event and whilst they do the job admirably I have a few issues with them; F…
Version 2: 144-145 MHz for SSB/CW use. This version is for SSB/CW use, specially for stacking to groups (2x or 4x) with better gain at 144,3 MHz. Elementpositions and -lengths: Radiator 12mm, parasitic elements 10mm, 8mm or 6mm, mounted with Polyamid clamps (see details for the other 2m-Yagis)
In this publication i explain how to build a very light weight, cheap, easy to build and deployable in 30 seconds portable VHF antenna for the 2 meter band. Here i present all steps to build this antenna.
You will find one decent design that will use the pieces you have in the article "7 dB for 7 bucks", by Nathan Loucks, WB0CMT, which has a basic construction as follows: The article recommends that if your radio is further than 15 feet you'll want a good low loss cable such as RG-213.
4 element yagi easy to build and feed directly with 50 ohm coax. Center of boom has no element and makes for easy mounting. Let’s build an antenna ! First measure and cut some wire or rod to the dimensions we need. Prepare the driven element leaving a 1⁄4” gap. Tape it and secure it with heat shrink. You may have to re-cut the element to length.
It's a vertical directional antenna made of 1/2 inch copper pipe and wood or PVC. It uses a standard J-pole antenna as the driven element and center support, with two parasitic elements-----a reflector and a director, to provide directivity and gain. See J Beam pattern below.
