How about this tape measure\nantenna?\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zbw6dKeXir1GBFCueyoHCSlNnEkiUvF2/view?usp=sharing\n\nWe made 15 of them when we taught ham radio and radio merit badge at\nPhilmont Scout Ranch. The Scouts then used these to make contacts with\nAstronaut Kjell N. Lindgren with just 5 watt HTs. We used free tape\nmeasures from Harbor Freight (tape measure coupons) so the cost was only a\ncouple of dollars each and took about an hour to make.\n\nThis is the only antenna I use when I'm a rover. It instantly goes in and\nout of my car and I don't have to worry about bending anything. On the\nplane, I use a 5\" diameter poster tube and slide it down inside that. It\nwould fit in a narrower one, but I happen to have this one:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Eorbow-Extendable-Telescoping-Drafting-Blueprint/dp/B0CM6C1LNC\n\n-David, N9KT\n\n\nOn Tue, Feb 6, 2024 at 1:21 PM JOHN GEIGER via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Has anyone tried using the MFJ 1763 3 element portable 2m beam on the\n> satellites?
