At the January 7th NELARC club meeting, we will be building 2-METER TAPE MEASURE BEAM OPTIMIZED FOR RADIO DIRECTION FINDING
The design and build instructions are online at: http://theleggios.net/wb2hol/projects/rdf/tape_bm.htm
If you would like to build one, please let Scott W5WZ know, and we will have the materials on hand. NELARC would appreciate a $10 donation per antenna.
I’ve purchased the materials to build 10 of the “tape measure” 2-meter yagi antenna.
To facilitate construction, I’ve pre-cut the PVC for the 2 boom sections.
Tools we will need to assemble the antenna:
solder gun
solder
flat screwdriver
cordless drill with 1/4″ hex driver
wire cutters
wire strippers
tin shears / scissors
antenna analyzer for 144-148 MHz
