Antenna for UHF VHF Links

149



HB9CV Antenne
I was able to set a maximum standing wave ratio of 1: 1.1 at 144.300 MHz. The HB9CV works really well.

Helix antenna for 2 metre satellite
Construction of the helix antenna is mechanically a little more difficult than a Yagi and requires a reflector behind it to function properly

J Antenne For 2m
A J antenna in fact a ZEPP antenna can be considered as a whole wave radiator with one dipole half (=1/2) folded

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
