I was wondering while I was messing with this project if anyone has tried a Lindenblad for 1.575 GHz? I can see making the phasing lines would be problematical, but the pattern looks right. What I intend on making to start with is this one. http://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/navsats/analog.html

Lacking any actual hardline, I ran RG-174 in brass tube from the hardware store and had excellent results. On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 11:26 PM, quartz55 quart...@hughes.net wrote: I've been searching for the small copper hardline I can use for the feed on the gps volute (egg beater) antenna.

I've been searching for the small copper hardline I can use for the feed on the gps volute (egg beater) antenna. Can anyone steer me where to get a foot or so of the small 50 ohm line so I can make a few antennas? I've been searching mouser to no avail. Dave N3DT

Go to eBay and search for semi rigid coax If you know the RG designation for the specific size you are looking for, search for that. Mouser and Digikey don't carry. And the people that do will have minimum buys you are unlikely to be able to afford. Look for listings by eBay id: de_w7eme Or
