[amsat-bb] Cheap Antenna For Beginning AMSAT Work

[David Swanson]

'Cheap' is kind of relative... Do you have a dollar cap?

If you want to buy, for < $150 get an Arrow and assorted goodies:

Roughly the same Price for an Elk Log periodic, if you're into that sort of
style:

If you want to build, cheap Yagi for AMSAT:

Or the original WA5JVB designs have some AMSAT models too:

I can't really in good conscience recommend anything else. Any option
listed will suit you well.
