Clint Bradford #5730 Edited For getting started working the "easy" FM voice satellites on 2 meters and 440, there are several DIY antenna projects on our ANTENNAS page ... http://work-sat.com/Antennas.html Included are links to ... Arrow Antennas --K6LCS’ Arrow Antenna Mods Elk’s Log Periodics Alex Diaz’ Homebrew Yagis Umbrella Antenna Ideas WB2HOL’s 2M Tape Measure Beam (used mine to work the ISS!) --Mods to Joe’s Tape Measure Beam --Tape Measure Beam KITS! W6NBC’s 2M/70CM Tape Measure Beam Project - .pdf - from January, 2012 QST magazine Doug KD5PDN wrote a great article on working the ISS with just an HT and tape measure beam! It’s in the Feb. 2012 issue of QST magazine - or click here for a copy! Doug KD5PDN does it again! Read how he worked the ISS with an antenna made out of barbed wire! Download the 10/2013 QST magazine article by clicking here (3.1mb .pdf) ... then watch the video: http://tinyurl.com/BARBED-WIRE-ANT Ed Fong’s CLASSIC j-pole construction articles (NOT high-gain antennas by any means ... but EVERY ham working 2 meters and 70cm should enjoy building and using a j-pole!): DBJ1 DBJ2 Jerry W8RQM recommends W7MEM's antenna site - where you can enter a frequency (NOT just for satellites!) and get specific antenna plans/drawings.
