Cheap Yagi
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while: toss together a cheap Yagi antenna suitable for listening to AO-51 on 70cm. If you just google for “cheap yagi”, you’ll find the link to the design. An hour, some 12 gauge aluminum (not optimal, but what I had on hand), a poplar stick, some coax and hot glue, and voila. I have an antenna! Now all I have to do is wait for something to come overhead to see how it works.
Addendum: It works pretty darned good. Maybe just a little worse than my Arrow, but that’s just a guess. I was listening to N6PAA on the QRP repeater on AO-51 just a few minutes ago, and his signal was good and strong.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
