2 Meter Handheld Beam

Last Updated: 19 Jan 2005

This antenna was adapted from Nov. 1991 QST article that was originally designed as a line noise sniffer.  The original antenna was tuned to 130 MHz to be used with an AM aircraft receiver.  I redesigned it to be tuned to 146 MHz to double as a portable 2M beam.  Click on images to see larger view.
