[amsat-bb] ARRL Antenna book, eggbeater antenna designs

[Ted Krempa]

Hi Devin, frankly the 'eggbeater' days have come and gone in the efficiency
dept.

Attached is an article from QST on the Moxon turnstile, a much better
option. Better than that is an Elk on a 'rat shack rotor at 15-20 deg fixed
el.

If interested, I can send you my files direct on either

Greetings, programs!

I'm looking to work with my son (who will be studying to get his Technician
license later this month) on building a UHF/VHF pair of eggbeater antennas.
I've found a few papers online, but does anyone have a good reference to a
detailed design?

Does the ARRL Antenna book latest edition have any significant coverage of
eggbeaters at all? I have an older version that has nothing.

Also, most of the designs I see are for a single band. If you're deploying a
pair for satellite operations, do you simply attach them through a duplexer?
I have a Diamond MX-72N that I picked up a while ago for using with dual
Baofengs, but it's been sitting in my drawer since I picked up my TH-D72A.
It has a 1.6~150MHz lead and a 350~460MHz lead.

Thanks in advance for any pointers you might have.
