[FARC] Some Homebrew Antenna Links

[Bob Moroney]

Here are a couple of links to the QST article archives on the ARRL site, 
relating to a couple of the home-brew antennas we talked about at last 
night's meeting. 

You'll see that some of the articles are labeled "Members Only".  If 
you're an ARRL member and haven't registered on the ARRL site, you 
should look into it.  Access to such articles is one benefit among 
many.  If you're not an ARRL member, consider joining.  Let me know if 
you want to join - the Club gets an extra "finder's fee" bonus for new 
ARRL members vs. those renewing.

Here's info on J-Pole designs: http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/JPole-V.html 
.  Scroll down the page and you'll see other Web links to related pages.

Here's a page with a link to the 2m phased array construction article in 
QST, plus another vertical design: 
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/Vertical-V.html .  The phased array article 
is also available here, outside the ARRL site:

These are just the tip of the iceberg on do-it-yourself antenna 
projects.  I'd guess that over the years, more has been written about 
DIY antennas than any other single aspect of Ham Radio.  It's still one 
of the ways the average Ham can improve station performance while having 
some fun and learning something, WITHOUT having to spend a bunch of money.
