144MHz 10 Element longyagi

Project Link: 2x144MHz Vertically stacked 10El Yagis

There was a need to update the 2m antenna on our local club station.
We decided to replace the 10 element gamma fed 144MHz Yagi, with two vertically stacked
10 element Yagis.

The idea was to build one of G0KSC's OWL designs, but unfortunately the aluminium material I
had at home did not match any of his simulations.
So instead I had to make a new simulation using his 10 element OWL design as a starting point.

Using MMANA-GAL, this was my final simulation result.



I am excited to start building this antenna.

2m LDMOS Amplifier

Project Link: 2m LDMOS amplifier page.

Today I completed the page describing my 2m LDMOS amplifier project.
There is still work to do but it is now a working amp, and I am quite happy with it.




Please add your thoughts and suggestion regarding this project in the comments section.

Henry 1KD-5

Project Link: Henry 1KD-5 restoration.

I am not a big fan of social media, but I thought I would like to share some projects
that I have been working on lately.
First published is the restoration of my Henry 1KD-5 amplifier.
