  1. Prototyping a minimum impact #lora #antenna mount. Had four screws available on the vent. Three perforated screw plates, a metal table leg and four spacers later, I've got a rough prototype that probably won't survive any sort of weather! 😂

  3. I enjoyed reading random posts from the antenna service at gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/

    But it seems like the whole server has been down for at least a few weeks. :(

    Would love to see it back up. Not even sure how to contact the owner, so posting to mastodon.

  5. Yes, that could be the arrangement for 2m, 70cm, 23cm, and 13cm Yagis on the Yaesu rotator. Everything horizontal for direct SSB and space communications. Maybe EME? 🙈

  7. @HopelessDemigod hmmm, thinking about this project made me realize the last time I built a #QuadLoop #Antenna was in…

  9. wire has been strung... if Old Mister Pythagorus' theorem was correct, this should approximate a decent 6m #AmateurRadio #QuadLoop #Antenna

  11. the 1/2 in PVC extension down the middle is not stiff enough, so I’ll probably go back and get the adapters for a 3/4 inch centerpiece instead. I am hopeful that metal near the feedpoint will not have too bad an effect.

  13. why yes, since you mention it, my PVC gluing technique *could* be a touch less sloppy.

  15. 📡 Ah, yes, the granddaddy of all #antennas that no one asked for! Finn spent a decade constructing this colossal contraption in his backyard—because nothing screams midlife crisis like a 32x17 #Yagi monstrosity. 🤦‍♂️ Now he can talk to the moon while the rest of us are stuck debating if we should upgrade our Wi-Fi routers. 🌙📶

  17. Jeg har været på udkik efter et godt sted at sætte den #Meshtastic node som gerne snart skulle være undervejs i posten. Vores 60'er parcelhus ligger på en vej med stigning, og hvis man står det helt rigtige sted, kan man se det meste af #Aarhus.

    Jeg tænkte oprindeligt på at lave et hul i taget og montere et rør til diverse antenneforsøg (det ville virkelig klæde mig at bruge min radioamatørlicens til andet end bare pynt) men jeg kunne ikke lige overskue at få det lappet ordenligt til bagefter. Teknik er sjovt - vandskade på loftet knapt så meget.

    Anyhoo, lur mig om ikke der lige står den her fine ventilations-hat-ting, endda med bolte på toppen. Noden kunne faktisk monteres direkte på den, men det ville da være frækt med en art stativ der gav endnu 50-75cm højde! Ideer? :-)

  19. @harvestmalletus Hell yes! I plan on getting a tower up soon enough here, as I have my General I can do most of the HF bands and plan on getting a G5RV up along with a 2 m / 70 cm yagi which would compliment my Diamond X50 currently on the roof. #hamRadio #amateurRadio #hamShack #antenna #tower #nerd #POTA #HF #VHF #UHF

  20. Finally got to putting up the last antenna on my tower! It's the happy vertical there! I can finally do VHF/UHF from my shack now! I can manage to hit about 70 miles out from my location, so I'm pretty happy with that! Now to see if I can somehow manage to get a VHF POTA!

  22. #MakeShitMonday, mobile radio edition...

    I finally got around to adding a mag mount antenna to my car in the last few hours before a big road trip. It's an old, unbranded¹ whip that I got as part of a mixed lot of radio gear at an estate sale last year. The integrated coax cable was long enough to go in through the back hatch, around the back seat, and up next to the driver's seat.

    I had previously tested the antenna on VHF (2m) and UHF (70cm) using the main radio in my shack so I knew it worked. While on the road, I successfully used the antenna connected to my Baofeng HT to join a local weekly net in Indiana!

    ¹ The antenna has a label that says "Mobile Antennas & Access, Burlington, NC". I don't find any references online, so I assume they went out of business and probably never had an online presence. Has anyone heard of them?

  26. I’ll be working on some content covering cutting the cable and using Antenna TV and optimizing it based on my amateur radio knowledge. Filtered, split, and even going to able to stream to all my TV’s. I am enjoying free local TV and news. #antennaTV #TV #Radio #technology #antenna
