[amsat-bb] antenna for 1.2 Ghz

[Rick Tejera]

Philip,

 Look here, These were under consideration by me until I came into a M2 23
element Yagi for $40.00. 

Reasonably priced and looks pretty simple to Assemble:

Subject: [amsat-bb] antenna for 1.2 Ghz

For the VHF/UHF contest in September, there will be a group active
locally...and running 1.2 GHz!

Since L-band is active on AO-92, and I have the equipment - but no
antenna   - I'm looking for an L--band antenna that I can use both
terrestrially  and for the birds.

My preference is for M^2, but both yagis on their website are a little
larger than what I'm looking for - but they are still under consideration.

Does anyone have recommendations for another brand, or have an appropriate
one for sale? (I wish I had bought some of those loop yagis which were
prominently displayed in Ball Arena at Hamvention in the early 90s...)

(I'll be at Shelby NC Hamfest this Saturday (mostly at the AMSAT info
table), in case someone is attending who has one and wants to bring it .)

Thanks

Philip N4HF
