[HiDARG-MEMBERS] 220 MHz Antenna build.

[Ray KG7AV]

I have a tribander so I’m going to take some spare 450 window line and put together a slim Jim cut for 223.5 midband.  Good project for a snowy weekend.

Here is the online calc I use.

>> As we talked about on the What's for Lunch Net today (12pm Fridays), I'm trying to get a list together of folks interested in building a 220 ground plane antenna.  As many of you know, there are a handful of us that always monitor 223.5.  There are some pretty good random ragchews as well.  Also, there has been some interest in starting a once a month 220 net so now's the time to get that antenna built!!  I also know that a lot of people have a tri-band HT and one of these inexpensive and highly functional ground-planes with a little stretch of coax and some elevation can turn that HT into a 220 base station....(I know because Bill helped me build one a few months ago, and that's what I did)   Not to speak for Bill, but I'm pretty sure he still has one or two 220 loaner rigs available for use.
