I've put together a 2.4 ghz antenna BUT! its only working at maybe 20% so my question is what is a good 2.4 antenna?
Thank You Douglas Anoman KC9MLN Amsat #37043

Hi Doug,
Try the quadrifilars listed:

Inexpensive and easy to construct, but use the best connectors and coax you can afford!!

Disagree: I learn....
Pulling for P3E...
What kind of antenna did you make? How did you measure how well it's working?

If you remove the 80% that doesn't work......

Yes, having just had a nightmare week of S band downlink, I am curious as to how 20% is calculated!
If its 20% of the overall pass of the bird then you are doing very well methinks!

My assumption was that 20% of the antenna worked, and therefore removing the 80% that doen't work will leave him with a perfect 100% working antenna.

If I had followed that logic last week then the 20% that was left would have been an N connector!
:-D

After multiple 2.4Ghz antenna tested this wifi yagi outperform anything tested before you can have the specs on www.cushcraft.com and look for the PC2415N It is not cheap but watch e-bay there is a lot at an affordable price.
I can send you the specs directly if you want to have it.
