Tape Measure Antenna
Workshop Build-A-Thon
(project completed January 7, 2023)
We built them, now what? There are many times you may want a collapsible, directional antenna:
- You live in an apartment building and need extra gain to reach the repeater or another station
- You need a directional antenna to track down noise on your radio
- You are going on vacation and may need extra gain to reach a faraway repeater
- You want to work the satellites or download SSTV pictures from ISS
- They’re just plain fun to mess around with, and
- You wish to participate in the MRAC fox hunt (more on that to come)
