Operating FM satellites with the M2 Eggbeater Antennas.

-


 

Here's an easy way to work Amateur Radio FM satellites using the M2 Eggbeater Antenna.

In this video, Sean Kutzko (KX9X) and Ward Silver (N0AX) use an ICOM ID-5100 transceiver and the M2 Eggbeater Antenna to work Amateur Radio satellites on the 2 meter and 70 meter bands.

The video shows how to assemble, test, and use the M2 Eggbeater as your gateway to Amateur Radio satellite operations.

Here are some comments from Sean (KX9X) and Ward (N0AX):

Sean Kutzko, KX9X, and Ward Silver, N0AX, show you how to get on the FM “birds” by putting together a simple station using M2 2 meter and 70 cm directional eggbeater antennas and the Icom ID-5100 VHF/UHF Digital Transceiver with full duplex capabilities—all available from DX Engineering.

Here are some comment from "Tinker John" (W5CYF): A simple and effective method of passing coax antenna cable through a window sill. Easy and inexpensive to make. Used for any type of antenna cable including ham radio, TV, CB or SWL. Suggested items that may be related to this video: https://www.amazon.com/shop/w5cyftink... This video shows how to create a window pass-through for coax cables, using readily available materials. The creator demonstrates a simple and inexpensive method for bringing coax cables from the outside into a ham shack, using a piece of printed circuit board and a pin...

  If you want to experiment with unconventional antenna designs, please consider adapting US military HF antennas.  These antennas are easy to build and perform well on several amateur radio bands. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) builds a Terminated End Fed V Antenna (TEFV).  The antenna is broad banded, requires no antenna "tuner", and covers frequencies from 1.8 to 30 MHz.

Build an EASY 6 Meter (50 MHz) Vertical Antenna

-
Image
  Here's another great 6 meter band antenna idea from Hayden (VK7HH). This vertical antenna is based on the "classic Cobra Antenna" described by the late Bill Orr (W6SAI). The antenna is easy-to-make using a few basic tools, a PVC mast, some RG-58 coaxial cable, and a few connectors. This antenna is suitable for both home and portable use.

Here are some comments from Hayden (VK7HH): This is a really simple and easy to construct antenna that will get you on the air on the six meter band using only RG-58 coax! I needed a quick and simple antenna for my WSPR beacon over the summer season. Enter the coaxial dipole or aka flowerpot antenna!
