This is a 2m/70cm dual-band antenna build, tune and test video. A very simple and cheap antenna to build as it's only made from RG58 coax! Plus I saw some interesting results when I compared this to my mono-band 2m vertical antenna 🤔
My thanks to the Raynet website and their reference to Frank Bremer PA0FBK, whose design this antenna is based. Also my thanks to Lenny & Dave who helped with on-air testing.
The video showing the build & test of the vertical 2m antenna can be found here: youtu.be/Ty7v09DyWZo
Both these antennas will out perform handheld radio supplied whip/rubber duck antennas 👍🏻
This is one of many ham/amateur radio related videos on my channel, which is all about simple practical projects and operating, both in the shack and out portable & mobile. If you like what you see, please give it a like 👍🏻 and subscribe to the channel if you're not already, and remember to hit the bell 🔔 so you’re notified of new videos as soon as they're published and you don't miss out.
Thank you for watching 🙂
