Wilson’s Wednesday Workshop

Watch Daron N7HQR build a tape measure antenna this Wednesday at 1900 (7:00 pm), on Zoom:

Daron sez: I hope to have all the parts for and be able to assemble and test from my motel room in Medford.  I’m working on a few refinements to make it cheaper to build, and if there is interest I’m happy to put together a ‘kit’ with the pipe, elements, coax pigtail, and all the other parts you need and we’ll work on doing this in person for one of the meetings.

Here is one of many articles on the project:

This is a very basic VHF yagi useful for direction finding and adding some gain to your handheld to get a better signal into the repeater or work the International Space Station.  Feel free to share the link on the website with anyone interested, I’ll see you Wednesday and hope that I’m ready!
