[amsat-bb] Re: antenna construction

[Jim Sanford]

Randy:
Check out the K1FO designs in various editions of the ARRL Handbook.  I 
scaled the 2m design to the satellite sub band (1mm shorter in element 
length) and really like how it worked.

>I have been wanting to put up long boom oscar antennas for 2 meter and 435 bands but the prices are very high. Are there any websites out there with plans that show how to build a cross polorized antenna for these two bands. I'm sure one could be built for half the price of the M2 satellite antennas. Also i have search the internet for plans that show how to build the circular polorization switch for LHCP/RHCP but have yet to find one. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
