Antenna

Knocked up a quick antenna using a 25cms 50 ohm SMA patch and a SMA to N-Type convertor.

The radials and aerial are 164mm in size to make a 1/4 wave dipole antenna ( See http://wb5mrn.com/ham/antenna.htm ) and are made from the centre core of some old TV Coax. I’ve bolted them on to a N-Type panel mount socket with some small screws and some Nyloc nuts. Also splashed a little solder on to hopefully keep it all together. Biggest problem is how to store it without bending all the radials 🙂
