I continue to be amazed by the vast & so useful repeater-builder web site!
Just cruising it I find so many of my questions answered. Thanks to all who participate in it. --John WB0EQ --- On Wed, 8/26/09, Mark <n9...@ameritech.net> wrote: From: Mark <n9...@ameritech.net> Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] 1.2 GHz Base antennas To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 10:58 AM Doug, Check out the articles on the companion website: http://www.repeater -builder. com/antenna/ pdf/wr9aea- antenna-n9sn- hr09-79.pdf http://www.repeater -builder. com/antenna/ wa6svt.html and the master page: http://www.repeater -builder. com/antenna/ ant-sys-index. html#antennas A real treasure trove of information! 73 de Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of n3dab Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 11:14 AM To: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] 1.2 GHz Base antennas I'm looking for any information and/or construction details for a hi-gain folded dipole omni-directional antenna in the 1.2 GHz Amateur band (similar to the VHF design shown in the ARRL Handbook or the DB products line) for use as a base or repeater antenna. I would like to build the folded dipole type, but am not to familiar with the way to compute the dipole dimensions, stand off from the mast and vertical spacing of the dipole loops. If someone has already built one successfully, I would appreciate them contacting me of list at " de underscore n3dab @ tds dot net "(no spaces) if they are willing to share their knowledge. ------------ --------- --------- ------ Yahoo!
