This should be good. I love the ham radio threads on FR.
Pinging the list.
Should work with my cell phone too.
I have all of that laying around the house here and it'll cost me nothing more than about 30 minutes of time.
Bottom line: a little knowledge, some time, and some good old fashioned American ingenuity typically means you can build an antenna for much cheaper than you can buy one and it's going to work almost as good as a commercial product.
That's the beauty of this hobby!
Fine, a broadband antenna for a range of line-of-sight frequencies that does include several ham bands, but for which virtually no commercial equipment is avaialble. So this is supposed to help “survival comms” - how, exactly?
hese LPAs could be useful for wi-fi if directionality is desired, but I can come up with 2 dozen more useful ideas for survival communications without even trying, and wouldn’t need a boring half hour video to describe them all.
Just gimme 1000’ of wire and I can handle the rest...
All wires here.. OCF 6-80 @60’ Downsized from Yagi’s 6-40
Are people stlll interested in radio? I’ve been trying to sell my ICOM Receiver (IC-R71A) on Craigslis. I get zero response.
