Dear all,

Frans, PE1RXJ, and myself have been building DL6WU based (portable) beams for 145 and 435 MHz. We mainly used them for portable satellite operations. Using 4 elements for 145 MHz and 7 elements for 435 MHz we can operate AO51 "noise free".

On my website I have described how we built them, and also the two alternative methods for mounting the elements onto the boom: - using LEGO bricks (the PE1RXJ method) vs. - using Wash Pins (the PA3GUO method)
